FTB Chunks guide for FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.0.3 to 1.7.3

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

FTB Chunks is part of this pack, and the version you get is 2101.1.21, shipped as the NeoForge build of the mod. If you're checking that your install matches this guide, that's the version to look for.^[1]

It has been in the pack for a while, since version 2.25 or earlier, so it isn't a recent addition.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have don't describe what FTB Chunks does, who it's aimed at, or where it fits in the pack's progression. They also don't show any quests for it or a place on the ATM Star path. I won't guess at those, so check the in-game mod menu and config files for the pack's actual behavior.

Unverified The sources here show no crafting recipes and no quests for FTB Chunks in this pack, so there is no confirmed list of items to craft first. This section only covers what the mod's own setting descriptions say.

What to know before you claim chunks

• Claims belong to teams. By default, FTB Teams ally status decides whether players count as allied, and a server can force everyone to be allied or nobody to be allied.^[2]
• Servers can block claiming in certain dimensions with a blacklist, for example The End, and wildcards that match a whole mod's dimensions are allowed. A whitelist can restrict claiming to the listed dimensions only.^[2]
• The default claim limit can be overridden by the FTB Ranks permission node ftbchunks.max_claimed. Party teams have their limits worked out by a mode setting with the options LARGEST, SUM, OWNER or AVERAGE.^[2]
• If no team member logs in for a set number of days, the team's claims are released. Setting that value to 0 turns auto-unclaiming off.^[2]
• Force-loading is controlled by a mode setting. NEVER only allows it while the owning team has someone online. ALWAYS allows it even when nobody is online. DEFAULT allows it if the team has a player with the FTB Ranks ftbchunks.chunk_load_offline permission.^[2]

Map settings worth a look

• The minimap can scale with your screen. When the proportional option is on, its size is based on 10% of your screen width and can be adjusted with the Scale setting. When it is off, the size is fixed regardless of resolution.^[2]
• Zooming out on the large map can be limited by how many regions you have explored and how much memory is available. If that bothers you, you can turn the max zoom constraint off.^[2]

Unverified The sources here do not show any quest chapter, crafting recipe or tier breakdown for FTB Chunks, so no progression path is described for this pack.

What the mod does ship in this pack is a set of tag files that list blocks, entities and items with special handling. Here is what each one contains.^{[3][4][5][6][7][8]}

Special-case tags

• Interact whitelist (blocks): Crafting Table and Bell are always listed. Create table cloths, tombstone graves, waystones, sharestones and several fwaystones waystone variants are listed too, but marked as not required.^[4]
• Edit whitelist (blocks): the gravestone:gravestone block is listed, marked as not required.^[3]
• Entity interact whitelist: the corpse:corpse entity is listed, marked as not required.^[5]
• Mob griefing blacklist: the enderman is listed.^[6]
• Right click blacklist (items): Bucket, Water Bucket, Lava Bucket, Lead, Name Tag, Splash Potion and Lingering Potion.^[7]
• Right click whitelist (items): Shield, Firework Rocket and Map.^[8]

Every one of these files has replace set to false, so they add entries on top of whatever else is already in the tag instead of overwriting it.^{[3][4][5][6][7][8]}
