Vanishing Chunks is a Minecraft Java datapack that instantly erases any chunk the moment a player leaves it. The world only exists under your feet — everything behind you disappears layer by layer.
How it works
- The moment you step into a new chunk, the previous one starts vanishing
- Deletion happens in thin horizontal layers (to stay under command limits) and finishes in under a second
- Chunks with other players still inside are left untouched
- Spawn area (±3 chunks) is protected by default
- Only works in the Overworld (can be changed)
- A subtle actionbar message appears when a chunk begins to vanish
- You can permanently protect any chunk with a single command
Commands
- /function vanishchunks:settings — view & change options
- /function vanishchunks:keep_here — permanently protect the current chunk
- /function vanishchunks:force_delete — instantly erase the chunk you’re standing in
