⚡ FastChunks — Adaptive Chunk Loading Acceleration Plugin

FastChunks is a modern chunk-optimization plugin for Paper/Bukkit/Spigot/Purpur servers that want faster, smoother world loading for players without unsafe server strain. It adds adaptive + directional prefetching, priority-based chunk scheduling, fairness controls, and backpressure-safe limits, all configurable in config.yml.

Built for player experience, server stability, and real-world multiplayer traffic.

✨ Adaptive Loading Engine

Dynamic prefetch radius scaling based on TPS + player speed Directional prefetch cone to load chunks ahead of player movement Smart radius up/down behavior for stable vs stressed server conditions World-specific overrides for different terrain/loading policies

🚀 Priority-Based Chunk Scheduling

Event-aware priority queue (Teleport, Join, World Change, Movement, Warmup) Distance-aware prioritization inside each prefetch batch Important player transitions processed before low-priority background tasks

🛡️ Stability & Fairness by Design

Per-player queued/in-flight limits to prevent single-player domination Queue backpressure controls to avoid overload under high traffic Dedupe TTL protection to prevent repeated chunk request spam Safe fallback behavior across different server software implementations

🌍 Hotspot Warmup Toolkit

Configurable warmup hotspots (spawn, warps, hubs, event zones) Interval-based preload cycles to keep popular areas responsive Supports chunk-coordinate targeting for precise warmup coverage

📊 Admin Visibility & Live Tuning

/fastchunks status for active config and runtime budget visibility /fastchunks stats for queue/in-flight/completion/skip metrics /fastchunks profile <safe|balanced|aggressive> for one-command tuning /fastchunks reload for config refresh without restart

⚙️ Fully Configurable in config.yml

Adaptive radius thresholds and bounds Directional cone and forward boost behavior Queue budgets, per-player fairness limits, and dedupe TTL Hotspot warmup definitions and world override policies
