GalacticChunks

GalacticChunks 4.0 is no longer a custom chunk-loading system. It has evolved into a pure storage-layer optimization. We’ve removed the complexity of custom chunk handling and now hook directly into Paper’s native system. The result? The same 3–10× compression you love, with zero compatibility risks. 🛠️ The 4.0 Evolution: Pure Storage In 4.0, we’ve stripped the plugin down to its most powerful core. Paper-Native: We no longer load or unload chunks ourselves. Paper handles the logic; we just handle the storage. Plug-and-Play: Because we inject directly into Paper’s chunk system, GalacticChunks is now compatible with every world-gen and utility plugin on the market. Simplified .gregion v1: We’ve moved to a clean, dictionary-free format. This eliminates the misalignment and OOM (Out of Memory) crashes that plague other compression methods. 🚀 Performance & Stability Highlights 📦 3–10× Smaller Worlds: Massive storage savings using 100% pure ZSTD compression. ⚡ Rock-Solid Async Saving: We’ve eliminated the "Failed to save chunk: null" errors by rebuilding the AsyncChunkSaver loop from scratch. 🧠 Zero-Impact Migration: Our new MigrationManager is TPS-aware. If your server starts lagging, the migration pauses automatically. 💾 No More Disk I/O Bottlenecks: Smaller files and optimized ChunkFile readers mean your SSD spends 50–90% less time working. 🛡️ Why You Can Trust 4.0 Non-Destructive: Chunks are read from your vanilla .mca files. We never delete your original data until the new .gregion file is verified. Resume-Ready: Migration tracks progress and resumes automatically after a restart. Clean Slate: This is a complete rewrite. We fixed the leaks, fixed the crashes, and fixed the "OOM" issues of the past. ⚠️ How to Upgrade Delete any old .gregion files from version 3.x (they are incompatible with the new v1 format). Install GalacticChunks 4.0.0.0. Relax: The plugin will automatically and safely remigrate your world from the vanilla .mca files. Your progress is 100% safe.
