ForceBlend

Original mod by Mauro0805. Maintained by Mauro0805 and SasnycoN

ForceBlend prepares existing Overworld chunks so Minecraft can blend new terrain beside them after seed or terrain-generator changes, chunk imports, or deletions. Minecraft generates the terrain; ForceBlend marks the existing side of the border.

Opening a world

Version 1.2.0 defaults to once per world. A read-only client analysis shows affected chunks, regions, deferred work, and estimated processing time. By default you get Prepare world (backup is on), Open without changes, or Cancel. With automatic backup turned off, the backup option comes first, followed by Prepare without backup (risky). Processing uses native Minecraft screens with progress and completion, not desktop dialogs.

Dedicated servers have no menu and always complete a full-world backup before applying. On clients the backup is on by default and can be turned off in the settings. ZIPs go under backups/forceblend/<world>/, outside the source world. They exclude only the root runtime session.lock. Keep your own restorable copy of important worlds.

Settings and migration

Edit config/forceblend.properties; Fabric Mod Menu optionally provides a settings screen. Automatic analysis and client backup default on, detailed logging defaults off, the chunk limit defaults to unlimited, and processing threads default to all available processors.

Once mode records successful, non-deferred completion in forceblend.json. Existing forceblendonce.json markers are honored. Every-opening mode ignores those markers for later imports, seed changes, or deletions. Replace the old ForceBlend Once JAR with the correct loader build; do not install both.

Versions and limits

Fabric targets stable Minecraft 1.18-1.21.11 and 26.1-26.3 in one JAR. NeoForge has a separate Minecraft 26.3 JAR. Fabric API is not required. Paper is a future plan only, not a supported plugin.

Recorded 1.2.0 dedicated-server comparisons cover Fabric 1.18.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.4, 1.21.11, 26.1.2, 26.2, and 26.3, plus NeoForge 26.3.

Only existing Overworld Anvil terrain is prepared. Blending occurs as new chunks generate. If both sides of a hard border already exist, remove the disposable new side first. Nether, End, custom dimensions, and CubicChunks are outside the processing scope.
