Questions about Chunky Offline.
4 questions
Do I need to run commands for Chunky Offline to work?
No. The process starts automatically when Chunky Offline loads and generates chunks whenever no players are online. Commands exist only to change the radius and centre, mute global messages, or pause, resume and cancel a running job.
What are the default settings of Chunky Offline?
The default radius is 10000 and the centre is 0 0. You can change both with the chunky_offline:config/set function, passing radius, x and z values in the command.
Does Chunky Offline work without Chunky?
No. It is an extension of Chunky, and every release lists Chunky as a requirement. Install Chunky for your loader first, then add Chunky Offline as a mod file or as the datapack.
How do I restart Chunky Offline after cancelling it?
Run the force_start function under chunky_offline:chunky. It is meant only for the case where you cancelled the process manually. Otherwise the job starts by itself when Chunky Offline loads.
