Plugin KeepChunks

KeepChunks, Powerful Chunk Loading for Minecraft Servers

KeepChunks is a Java plugin that lets server administrators select chunks and keep them loaded in memory, even when no players are nearby. It is especially useful for redstone systems, minecart railways, command block mechanisms, and smoother teleportation across busy areas.

Designed to stay lightweight, it can maintain unlimited chunks and handle large selections through commands, the console, command blocks, or RCON. Regions and railways can be managed easily, with optional WorldEdit and WorldGuard support. KeepChunks works with Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper, while BoxToPlay makes the server experience easier to manage. Crops and natural mob spawning still require player proximity because chunks do not receive random ticks automatically.
