Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Quilt only.

Minecraft 1.20.2–1.20.4Newest
Minecraft 1.20.1

⬇ Download for 1.20.2–1.20.4 ⬇ Download for 1.20.1

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Boring Spawn Chunks

Banner for the Boring Spawn Chunks mod

Boring Spawn Chunks is a mod that backports the spawnChunkRadius game rule from Minecraft 1.20.5.

It not only does that, but also backports the default value so that spawn chunks occupies a 3x3 area instead of a 19x19 one and also backports the visual changes to the world loading screen so that the classic square also dynamically changes size depending of the setting!

If the complete removal of spawn chunks is desired, a default game rule changer (like the sibling mod Boring Default Game Rules) is needed in order to set the default value to 0. This approach will continue working even with Minecraft 1.20.5's game rule after all!

Dependencies

This mod requires the Quilt Loader and the Quilt Standard Libraries to be installed.
