chucks stay loaded

[mattlekim]

Hi I’m fairly new to tekkit servers but I have an issues with chunks updating when there are no players around or when the server is empty. If I start a quarry and logoff and then log back on in the morning the quarry is finished.

I am running tekkit 1.3.2 without any changes to the mods.

I have the following plugins installed.

• Wormhole Xtreme
• Essentials, EssentialsChat, EssentialsSpawn
  
• Factions
  
• Multiverse-Core-2.4,
  
• PermissionsEx
  
• Vault
  
• WorldBorder
  
• WorldEdit
  

If the server is empty and I run /mem I get this

21.10 22:52:17 [server] INFO World "world2": 627chunks,292entities

21.10 22:52:17 [server] INFO World "world_the_end": 674chunks,11entities

21.10 22:52:17 [server] INFO Nether "world_nether": 674chunks,87entities

21.10 22:52:17 [server] INFO World "world": 504chunks,56entities

21.10 22:52:17 [server] INFO Free memory: 486 MB

21.10 22:52:17 [server] INFO Allocated memory: 995 MB

21.10 22:52:17 [server] INFO Maximum memory: 995 MB

21.10 22:52:17 [server] INFO Current TPS = 20.0

Any help would be appreciated.

So, what you're saying is that you want the server to stop loading chunks when there are no players nearby? I don't really know how that would be changed without editing the mods themselves.

I can tell you why it's happening at least. Some blocks, such as quarries, force chunks to load around them. I can't say for sure, but I believe it helps prevent things that could cause larger issues. There are also blocks, such as world anchors and teleport tethers, that have a sole purpose of loading chunks. Some of your players could be using these as well.

I'm using NoSpawnChunks and it seems to work with tekkit. I'm currently testing it. I have disabled chunk loaders so it shouldn't have any problems with those.

Just a warning: Even though it works for me, it doesn't necessarily work for you.

I did get an error right after I installed it, something about some IC stuff being corrupted, but when I investigated the coordinates every IC-machine I tried worked just fine and there weren't any problems. After that I haven't had any problems at all.

My Nolagg report looks like this when no1 is in the server:

30.10 08:19:31 [server] INFO You are no longer monitoring this server.

Did you disable world anchors and world anchor carts?
