ChunkMap
by lovexyn0827
ChunkMap is a Fabric server mod that visualizes chunk loading, chunk generation and tickets on a map view, with the keyboard controls to move the view around the world.
What it does
The mod draws a map of the loaded area, where each chunk is shown as a colored square that carries information about its loading state. A viewer mode switches the map between chunk loading, chunk generation and ticket display, and a toggle adds an overlay of entities. The view moves with the W, A, S and D keys, and holding Alt moves the center by 16 chunks instead of one.
Players and operators can also open a dialog that sets the center of the map from a given chunk position, and a Nether mode shows the map in that dimension. ChunkMap runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric alone, with builds covering 1.16 – 1.21.3 and 1.21.2-20250126 as the latest file for 1.21.3.
Key features
Chunk loading view
Shows which chunks are loaded around the center of the map, with a colored square for each chunk.
Chunk generation view
Switches the map to display chunk generation status, useful for tracking how far generation has progressed.
Ticket view
Displays the tickets that keep chunks loaded, so the reason a chunk stays active can be read from the map.
Entity overlay
A toggle adds entity positions on top of the chunk grid.
Jump to chunk position
A dialog moves the map center to a typed chunk position, and the Nether view follows the same controls.

Use cases
Debugging chunk loading
Server operators can check which chunks stay loaded and what keeps them loaded while investigating lag or stuck entities.
Following generation
Map builders can watch new terrain generate in a chosen area before exploring it.
Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who need to inspect chunk loading, generation and tickets, along with map builders who want to see the state of the world around a point.
