Chunk Viewer
This plugin allows you to view the corners of the chunk you are standing in. You can view 4x4, 8x8 and 16x16 size chunks.
It has 1 command: /viewchunks [4/8/16] or /vc [4/8/16] with the permission chunkviewer.use
This command will light up the corners of the chunk with glowstone. However only the player that used the command will see the corners. Meaning that others will not be bothered when someone else uses the command.
This plugin, as it is right now, is just a proof of concept. I want to know if there is interest in this kind of tool. I will add more features when requested.
Working like a charm on CB 1.7.9.
I agree that a timed automatic swich off would be a nice feature.
Can you add a way to limit the size of chunks you can view? E.g. /vc 16 crashes my server.
Just placed this in my plugins folder in 1.6.2 MC CB and it works perfectly. Just /viewchunks to enable and /viewchunks to disable. Couldn't be more simple. Thanx
I want this mod! I play on multiplayer servers all the time and need to know where chunk boundtarys are for faction claiming and building. But lighting up the corners with glowstone is no good.
If you have ever used the mod "To Many Items" it has a chunk border view feature when you hit F9, it puts a red lazer from berock to sky similar to a beacon light beam but way thinner from bedrock to sky. Hit F9 again and yo get a green block grid as well on the chunk wall. The red lines are specially real easy to see from all directions.
I beleive after using that mod it has set the bar for what i will use.
Do yo think you could impliment something like that into your mod?
Will you b releasing a 1.6 friendly version?
Hi,
this plugin is just what I needed. I searched hours for something like this!
this plugin is in combination with worldguard and worldedit the simplest solution for chunk based user-protection.
and this plugin is running with out any problems on CB 1.4.5-R0.2
just what I wanted. you upgrade to 1.3.2?
Would many players, all having this on at the same time, cause any performance hit, aside from client sided?
If so, a way for it to auto disable after a certain time, would be nice.
Hello, could you add a message to say to the player that they are now viewing chunk corners, or not? Thanks =)
@ryvix
I think you just find the solution. Torches will probably do fine!
@josvth
I'm not too sure really. I guess maybe if it was just some sort of transparent block they could move through on top of the water when over water, like a torch or something. I don't really know what sorts of tricks there are.
@ryvix
What I can do is just simply not the bottom instead of at the top of water. Would that fix it?
Hey, I noticed you can stand on the blocks in water, and maybe other things even but I didn't test. I don't know if there's some way to solve this but someone pointed out the same problem with GriefPrevention and I thought I would test it with this plugin. Turns out you can stand on the blocks in both plugins when they appear in water.
@vlaster
If you could prove to me that it's my plugin causing the ram issues and not another plugin, I will take a look at it.
you can do to use less ram?
thanks, good plugin
@Zefram
Fixed. :)
@ryvix
Yep you are correct this can be fixed. Will do. ;)

Got a bug report. Chunks don't seem to show on top of snow. And like stevevbrewer says, its hard to find them if you happen to be underground. I don't know how it would be possible to solve these really but I'm sure some trickery could be done.
It would be good if this could highlight the chunk edges from top to bottom. I'm using it underground and nothing is coming up. Thanks.
Thanks for adding the Permission!
