Auto Chunk Reloading
Hello, I run a paper 1.20.1 server and we just updated from 1.19.4 to 1.20.1 a few days ago, and we've noticed that all of our players on the server are having their chunks being reloaded every few minutes, causing a flicker on the screen. It's the same effect as pressing
F3+A in game.
It happens to all players, regardless of rank or position in the world. Right now it seems to be tied to player count, so when we get to about 15/60 players on the server it starts doing this to everyone on some interval.
Has anyone experience this issue at all? I'm at a loss for what could be causing it, seems more like a client rendering issue than any plugin or server issue but it happens at the same time. If anyone has any ideas for where I can check as well for settings, let me know.
Thanks in advance!10 Replies

Have you tried changing the core

The core?
Paper
Do you mean updating paper? Or changing from paper to something else like spigot?
updating
I haven't, but at the time we were using the latest version of paper
I updated paper, I will update here when the server restarts (will be tonight)
I updated paper, still happening. I also checked the paper settings in the
config/ directory and I didn't find anything specific about chunk reloading or player count that would specifically cause this behavior to be occuringCopy the default chunk loading settings https://docs.papermc.io/paper/reference/global-configuration#chunk-loading
Paper Global Config | PaperMC Documentation
Global configuration options exposed by Paper will affect all worlds on a server, or the server
And if the issue still occurs pregen using Chunky https://modrinth.com/plugin/chunky
I can try looking at the chunk settings but again, to my knowledge the settings haven't been changed since before the 1.19.4 --> 1.20.1 update so if paper itself is now using a newer config, then that might cause it and I would need to play in the configs. But the server's map has been around for nearly a year, I don't see how doing chunk pregen would fix the issue as again, less than a week ago this wasn't happening so idk how it's a chunk generation issue
