Chunk Swap

by divinxxii

Chunk Swap is a Fabric game mechanics mod that, after a countdown, replaces the 16×16 chunk a player stands in with a random chunk from elsewhere in the same dimension.

FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.4 – 1.21.11

What it does

Once a set number of seconds runs out, the chunk under the player is exchanged for a random chunk pulled from another place in the same dimension, so the terrain, structures, chests, spawners, ores and fluids of the old chunk are replaced instantly. A player can go from a forest to a cliff edge, the middle of an ocean, the inside of a village or a hover over a ravine within a single tick, and the world beneath their feet cannot be trusted.

Swaps stay inside one dimension: the Overworld trades with the Overworld, the Nether with the Nether, and the End with the End. The chunk selection always pulls one at least 512 blocks away from the player to keep each swap disruptive. A live HUD countdown sits above the hotbar and turns red when three seconds remain, and a warning sound plays before each swap.

Chunk Swap is built for Fabric and needs Fabric API, so both must be installed. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is released under All rights reserved, and the source code is publicly available. Eight game versions carry files, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build published on 2026-05-25.

Key features

  1. Timed chunk swap

    The chunk the player stands in is exchanged for a random one after a selected number of seconds.

  2. Full chunk contents move

    Terrain, fluids, structures, chests, spawners and ores are all carried with the swapped chunk.

  3. Countdown and warning

    A HUD timer above the hotbar turns red at three seconds, and a warning sound plays before each swap.

  4. Same-dimension swaps

    Overworld, Nether and End chunks only trade with chunks from their own dimension.

  5. Distant chunk selection

    The replacement chunk is always at least 512 blocks away from the player.

The world beneath your feet can't be trusted. Every few seconds, the chunk you're standing on gets replaced with a completely random chunk from somewhere else in the world. You stay exactly where you are — but everything around you changes instantly. When the timer hits zero, the 16×16 chunk you're standing in is…
