Wisterwild Server: Important Chunk Trimming Update

@Friend

:calendar_spiral: ✂️ Chunk Trimming ✂️

:herb: Hello Fellow Wisterwildlings! :herb:

Our world has been growing exponentially — which is amazing — but it also means it’s time for a trim! :scissors:

On Tuesday (see below for the exact date/time in your time zone), the server will go offline briefly while we reduce the world file size.

:lock: What’s Being Saved

  • All areas with at least 5 minutes of interactions (chunks where players have lived or spent time).
  • All Lands claims (/lands claim areas).
  • Everything else will be cleared.
    :point_right: If you’ve set up a temporary base or stash somewhere and haven’t spent much time there yet, make sure to grab your things or hang out there for a few minutes so it registers as active!

:tools: Why Are We Doing This?
When the world file grows too large, it can cause serious issues like:
- Chunks randomly deleting.
- Nametagged mobs despawning.
- New data not saving properly.

Regular trimming keeps the world stable, healthy, and playable for everyone. :green_heart:

:earth_africa: What This Means for You
This trimming is in addition to our current systems like WildRegeneration, Lands claiming, and upkeep. Nothing is being replaced.

A world border of 250k blocks from spawn will also be introduced. You can still explore freely within this radius — it’s huge — but it helps us manage performance and file size. If you have a base beyond 250k blocks, please open a ticket BEFORE chunk trim on Tuesday so we can support you!

:sparkles: And don’t worry: we’re also cooking up some new features for Season 2 in December to make world management even smoother and more sustainable long-term.
