ChunkLockXP

ChunkXP

Every player lives inside a zone of chunks around their spawn. Try to leave it and you are pushed back, as if against an invisible wall. The zone grows as you level up: gain experience, unlock land.

Server-side. Players do not need to install anything.

How it works

• The zone is a square of chunks. By default the radius equals your record XP level: level 0 is your spawn chunk alone (16x16 blocks), level 10 is 21x21 chunks.
• It never shrinks. Losing levels loses nothing: you must beat your record to unlock a new chunk.
• One zone per dimension, fixed at your first visit (Overworld: where you spawned, Nether: where you arrived, End: the exit portal so it is always reachable).
• Boats, horses and minecarts are pushed back too, with the rider on board.
• A message in the action bar tells you when your zone grows.
• A light particle veil shows the wall, only when you are within 10 blocks of it, and only to you.
• If a player has to be brought back from far away, they are placed on safe ground: never inside a block, in the air or in lava.

Teams

Teams are the vanilla scoreboard teams (/team).

• Each team gets its own spawn, drawn at random near the world spawn and away from other teams.
• Joining a team teleports you to the team spawn, and you respawn there.
• The team zone follows the highest level reached by any member, and never shrinks.
• Optional shared zone: chunks unlocked by one team are unlocked for all teams, so teams that meet can walk through each other's land. One command turns it off.

Moderation (operators)

Everything is under /zone and can be changed live:

• /zone rules: the growth rule (base, first level, levels per step, chunks per step).
• /zone cap global | player | team: maximum radius (priority: team, then player, then global; default 30).
• /zone team spawn | spawnradius | record | forget, /zone shared.
• /zone restrict creative | spectator, /zone bypass, /zone enabled (pause), /zone particles.
• /zone player <player> record | center.
• /zone settings shows every setting with its command.

Everyone can use /zone info (their zone, the next unlock) and /zone help.

Good to know

• Requires Fabric API, Fabric Loader 0.19.5+, Minecraft 26.3 and Java 25.
• Messages follow each player's game language (English and French included).
• Tested with automated client and dedicated-server tests using simulated players. It has not yet been tried with many real players on a live server: reports are welcome on the issue tracker.
