TheThanos is a Spigot plugin for Minecraft that automatically detects and removes unused chunks from the world, inspired by Aternos Thanos. It helps optimize world storage and improve server performance by deleting chunks that have not been accessed for a set period of time.
⚠ Restart Required For Applying Changes From Config
Key Features:
- Automatic Chunk Cleanup: Deletes unused chunks based on a configurable threshold (e.g., unused for 7 days).
- Configurable Settings: Offers customization for chunk deletion cycles, player proximity checks, logging, and more via a config.yml file.
- Optimized Performance: Limits the number of chunks deleted per cycle and provides options to force chunk unloading before deletion.
- Player Proximity Protection: Optionally prevents chunk deletion if players are within a set radius, ensuring important areas are not deleted.
- Notifications: Sends console and broadcast messages when chunks are deleted to keep players informed.
- Configurable Options:
- Threshold for chunk deletion (days of inactivity).
- Maximum chunks to delete per cycle.
- Option to delete chunk data or just unload the chunks.
- Scheduled cleanup intervals (e.g., run every 10 minutes).
- Debugging and logging features to track deletions.
- Player proximity radius to protect important chunks.
Disclaimer: This plugin is still in beta. You may encounter bugs, and there's a risk of deleting the wrong chunks. Use with caution.
