Chunky Peripherals(previously known as CRMod) is a computercraft addon that focuses on chunkloaders!
CHUNKY MODULE:
This is the basic chunkloader module, it's crafted this way:
Every turtle that has this upgrade equipped will keep it's chunk loaded.
(technically it keeps loaded the turtle's chunk, the one behind it, and the one in front of it)
MINY CHUNKY MODULE:
This turtle upgrade keeps the chunks loaded like the chunky module and also mines
like a diamond pickaxe.
To mine you have to use the peripheral's methods dig, digUp and digDown.
To call them you have to wrap the peripheral:
p=peripheral.wrap("left")or
p=peripheral.wrap("right")
and then you can call the method on the p object:
p.dig() p.digUp() p.digDown()
CHUNKY PERIPHERAL
This is a computer peripheral that acts as a chunk loader. By default (even if not attached to a computer) it will keep loaded the chunk it's in. By connecting it to a computer you can change the shape of the loaded area. The possible shapes are: a circle centered on the peripheral, a square centered on the peripheral a rectangle centered on the peripheral and a generic rectangle around the peripheral. The shapes sizes are expressed in blocks not chunks, so if you set for example a circle of radius 19 all the blocks that are less than 20 blocks away from the peripheral will be kept loaded.
Here's peripheral's methods documentation:
WIRELESS CHUNKY MODEM
This upgrade is a wireless modem that keeps the chunks loaded like the chunky module.
peripheral.getType(...) will return "modem" like the wireless modem, you can distinguish it from the wireless modem by the presence the method isChunky() (that will return true)
CHUNKY DETECTOR
The chunky detector is a handheld tool to chek if a specific block is kept loaded by Chunky Peripherals. By right-clicking on a block you will see on the chat if it's loaded or not.
SERVER COMMANDS
The command /CRModListLoadedChunks will print on the console the list of the chunks loaded by this mod. Each ticket corresponds to a turtle, it'll print between square brackets the chunk's coordinates and then the corresponding normal world coordinates at which the chunk starts.
The command /CRModToggleInfoLogging enables or disables the logging of debugging information messages on the console
CONFIG
In the config file you can change the item ids, the upgrade ids, enabling an alternative recipe for the chunky module that uses a diamond instead of the ender pearl, and activate the debug logging.
The most important config is maxChunkLoadingRadiusInBlocks: it indicates the max size of the shapes of the chunky peripheral. Circles will have at most that radius, Squares will have at most a side double the radius. Rectangles will have at most the area of the max square ((north+south)*(east+west)<(maxChunkLoadingRadiusInBlocks*2)^2)
