Random Chunks

by alcatrazEscapee

Random Chunks reshuffles where chunks generate in the world, so the terrain appears in an order that vanilla generation does not follow.

What it does

Chunk positions are remapped through a bijective function, which means every chunk still maps to exactly one new location and none are lost or duplicated. Terrain stays the same, but it appears in different places. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and Fabric API is required on Fabric. Source code and an issue tracker are public, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Builds cover 1.20 – 1.21 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

Key features

  1. Shuffled chunk placement

    Chunks are placed at shuffled locations, so terrain no longer generates in its usual arrangement.

  2. Bijective remapping

    Each chunk maps to a single new position, so the world keeps a one-to-one arrangement of its terrain.

  3. Dimension-wide effect

    The remapping applies across the generated world, changing where biomes and features appear.
