Chunk Loader Limits

To be courteous to all players across the server, each individual person is limited to one (1) chunk loader.

Inactive Chunk Deletion

NostalgiaCraft pledges to never reset. However, to maintain the SMP perpetually, we will periodically delete chunks that have no player activity. Some examples of such chunks may include:

  • Chunks that were generated from players exploring
  • Chunks that were generated in The End from players searching for elytra
  • Chunks in the wilderness region that have been depleted of resources

The chunks that are deleted do not include chunks with player activity/bases. The wilderness in the overworld, ancient debris in the Nether, and elytra in The End will be regularly replenished.
