You will not see the item displays when using the Lunar client. This is a bug with their client and not Chunklock.<\/p>\n<p>Chunklock has been reported to not work with Viabackward, a Spigot plugin.<\/p>\n<p>## Overview<\/p>\n<p>Chunklock offers a fresh and challenging gameplay twist by locking every chunk in the world, except for the one you start in. To unlock new chunks, you must pay a cost in items, with the required items determined by the biome of the chunk. This concept transforms Minecraft into a resource management and exploration-driven adventure, encouraging you to explore diverse biomes and strategically gather resources.<\/p>\n<p>## Key Features<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Unlock the Unknown**: Your Minecraft world starts small, with only one unlocked chunk. As you venture forth, you&#8217;ll need to gather specific items unique to each biome to unlock new chunks. This dynamic approach ensures every journey is unique and keeps you on your toes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Resource Management**: Chunklock emphasizes resource management and strategy. To progress, you must carefully plan and prioritize which biomes to explore first, optimizing your resource gathering to unlock more chunks efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Multiplayer Compatibility**: Whether you prefer cooperative play or competitive challenges, Chunklock fully supports multiplayer. We recommend a maximum of 6 players and at least 8GB of RAM. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Regular Updates**: Quillbee and I are committed to keeping Chunklock up-to-date with Minecraft&#8217;s latest versions, ensuring compatibility and a fresh experience with each update.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Works With Any Seed**: Chunklock is desgined to be played on any Minecraft map. It&#8217;s just a datapack!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Compatibility**: Chunklock has been tested alongside popular datapacks like Skyblock Infinite, ensuring a working and fun gameplay experience for those who love to mix and match their Minecraft adventures.<\/p>\n<p>## Important Commands<\/p>\n<p>All of Chunklock&#8217;s commands are \/triggers that can be run by players with OP permission. Here are the following commands:<\/p>\n<p>`\/trigger ChunkDifficulty` &#8211; Changes the difficulty of chunklock. You can only run this command in a fresh world with no chunks unlocked.<\/p>\n<p>`\/trigger ChunkSpreadPlayers` &#8211; Spread players around the world in a 1000 x 1000 area, respecting teams. This will also set the player&#8217;s spawns where they are teleported to.<\/p>\n<p>`\/trigger ChunkHideUnlockTitle` &#8211; Do not show a title message when new chunks are unlocked. This is per-player.<\/p>\n<p>`\/trigger ChunkShowUnlockTitle` &#8211; Show a title message when new chunks are unlocked. This is per-player.<\/p>\n<p>`\/trigger ChunkReroll` &#8211; Easy mode only. Reroll a chunk for free. You must be close to and facing the chunk you&#8217;d like to reroll.<\/p>\n<p>`\/trigger ChunkUninstall` &#8211; remove Chunklock. See the uninstall section before for more details.<\/p>\n<p>## How to Get Started<\/p>\n<p>Installing Chunklock is a breeze. Simply add the datapack to your world&#8217;s datapacks folder, and you&#8217;re ready. There are no client-side resource packs required, making it accessible for both single-player and multiplayer experiences.<\/p>\n<p>## How to Uninstall<\/p>\n<p>If you accidentally install Chunklock in a world and you\u2019d like to entirely remove it, you can run `\/trigger ChunkUninstall`. Note: this will only remove locked chunks that are currently loaded in the world. To delete any leftover borders or items you can run `\/kill @e[tag=chunklock]` while near those objects.<\/p>\n<p>## Curious as to How Chunklock Was Made?<\/p>\n<p>Check out Quillbee&#8217;s Video! https:\/\/youtu.be\/ApBjs3GE4cI?si=b8sng9FdoOAzVaRt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A brand new way to play Minecraft<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":40146,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"chunklock","_minecraft_project_id":"Z5JdfNas","_minecraft_author":"avid","_minecraft_license":"Apache-2.0","_minecraft_downloads":190912,"_minecraft_follows":657,"_minecraft_client_side":"optional","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"chunklock.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":1648604,"_minecraft_version_count":14,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T17:48:59.925174Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2023-09-12T05:56:56.344982Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-05-13T17:09:41.744582Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/chunklock","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":40146,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T21:26:30+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"cf4cf45d338f6230c3ed29806e496df3","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[84,89],"mod_loader":[86],"minecraft_version":[59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,37,41,73,74,38,78],"class_list":["post-40145","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-datapack","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_loader-datapack","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
