\n* Players stay online and can move around freely while chunks load.
\n* All loaded chunks and player locations are stored in a YAML file.<\/p>\n
\n* Stored data includes:<\/p>\n
\n * Loaded chunks
\n * Timestamps<\/p>\n
\n* Chunk loading is kept safe and server-friendly, but you can tweak the `MAX_CHUNKS_PER_TICK` value in the code for more aggressive loading.<\/p>\n
\n* Server: **Paper \/ Purpur \/ Spigot**
