Chunky Basics
Chunky is a plugin with a simple set of core front-end functionality. It allows players to own chunks (16x16x128 blocks). There is a powerful permission system that allow's chunk owners to assign various permission types to other players to restrict or grant access as they see fit. The 4 types of permissions are build, destroy, item use, and switch.
But that's been done before...
The real beauty of Chunky is it's module API. Everything described above can be changed to your hearts desire. Don't want players to be able to own chunks? That's fine! Want them to own other players instead? They can! Chunky's module API uses an event system similar to Bukkit's own event system so if you know how to make plugins it's not hard to mod Chunky.
Help
Chunky developers are on hiatus right now. Potential for more development in january 2012. Lots of awesome games have come out in Q4 2011 which is my reason for the hiatus. Swearword is working on another non-minecraft project which is his reason. We haven't given up though.
As for the website... Swearword was unable to host it anymore. We'll see about getting some docs up on here in the mean time. No promises though.
Chunky Admins
For installation, you install Chunky the same way as any other plugin. After running once, it will create a config.yml file where you may change important settings. For first time set up, make sure to set up your MySQL information if you wish to use MySQL. Chunky will always fall back to SQLite if you do not use MySQL or there are any issues.
Chunky Developers
It's pretty easy to start developing modules for Chunky. The event system works just like Bukkit and there is also a command API to easily manage Chunky related commands.
Chunky modules are just Bukkit plugins that take some extra steps. First, you have to make sure Chunky loads before your plugin. Then, to get started, you can use the static method:
Chunky.getModuleManager()
That method gives you Chunky's Module manager which is where you register your events and commands.
The core aspect of Chunky is that all classes you create that extend ChunkyObject are inherently "ownable" by other ChunkyObject's. What ownership means is for you to decide. As a friendly gesture, we've taken care of ownership persistence for you. We may also end up adding a persistence API that will allow you to register your ChunkyObjects for persistence in our database.
@dumptruckman
Will this updated to 1.6.x / 1.7.x
Or does this support 1.6 ?
48 hrs +/- several months :)
I am in the middle of updating this plugin for the current version of Bukkit. Will be done within the next 48 hours.
meh... just when i find a plugin that does exactly what i want... it is outdated!
This plugin is so important for a server ! i look for this since 2 week.
will you update Chunky ?
Is Chunky going to be updated? It is almost March and still no update.
To bad. Chunky seemed very promising.
Is it possible to make custom-shaped regions in either Chunky or ChunkyVillage? (i.e. not chunks but arbitrary lots set by admins?)
I'm pretty sure this can be done with WorldGuard, but I'd prefer not to use WG on my server.
Does anyone have a copy of the documentation? The link is broken. Can someone post it please? Thanks.

Is there a chance for an update?
This plugin seems great, I would love if the info came back.
Looks like the website "gotchunky.org" is broken and has been for some time, with a number of people reporting it. I know dumptruckman codes good stuff so was considering taking a look at this, but the lack of a working website for what looks like several weeks now has me thinking otherwise.
Any update on getting a working documentation website back up and running? Why not just use the wiki here to avoid external outages?
Permissions??
The website is broken :(
lack of document :( Hard to know how to use.
Anyone posting issues/suggestions here should instead file a ticket on our issue tracker. Thanks!
We updated to the newest chunky, and OP's can't build or destory on peoples chunks even with the admin.modify permissions
@SwearWords I have a slight problem, on our server we have two worlds, one in which is infinite plots that are a chunk big so chunky works perfect for that, and the other world is just a normal generated map.
The problem is that on the normal map I want people to be able to build and destroy on un-owned chunks, but on the plot world I only want them to be able to build and destroy if they own it.
I know there are settings to allow/disallow build in the wild. But could you make those settings have multi world support so it could be different in different worlds?
Thank you so much!
@CubeForge
Admin permissions were just added for unclaim and permissions
Any chance of:
