Chunk Activity Tracker
by Txni
Chunk Activity Tracker is a Library mod that records, for each chunk, how long each player stays there and how many blocks they place.
What it does
The mod stores a heatmap of player activity by chunk. For every player it keeps the seconds spent in each chunk and the count of blocks placed in each chunk, so other mods can read where activity concentrates in a world. On its own it changes no gameplay; it provides utilities that mod developers call from their own code.
An optional setting keeps the unmodified heightmap of each chunk as it was first generated, which can be used later as a reference. The data is held in an optimized binary storage format that stays simple to read and write. The author reports stress tests with 100k chunks.
Installation needs Fabric API and TxniLib, and the mod is built for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. Builds exist for 1.20 – 1.21.1, with 1.0.1 as the latest file for each loader, and the mod is released under a custom license, not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are publicly linked.

Time spent per chunk
Records how many seconds each player spends inside each chunk, giving a per-player timeline of presence.
Blocks placed per chunk
Counts the blocks each player places in each chunk, so building activity can be compared across an area.

Optionally keeps the unmodified heightmap data of each chunk for later reference by dependent code.
Binary storage format
Activity data is kept in a compact binary format that the author describes as optimized and simple.

Use cases
Developer utilities
Mod developers can query chunk activity data from their own code, without building their own tracking system.
Activity-based world features
A dependent mod can react to where players spend time, for example by spawning content in busy chunks.
Who it’s for: Mod developers building features that depend on player presence or building activity in chunks. Server owners need it only when a mod that requires it is installed.
