Gathering Chunks

# Gathering Chunks: Chunk by Chunk, Ryvione's Fork **A maintained fork bringing Chunk by Chunk to the latest Minecraft versions.** [Official Discord](https://discord.gg/invite/3S9aKukmmJ) | [Latest Release](https://github.com/ryvione/Gathering-Chunks/releases/latest) > **Note:** If you encounter bugs in versions published on Modrinth, check the **#beta-versions** channel on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/invite/3S9aKukmmJ) or grab the latest build from [GitHub](https://github.com/ryvione/Gathering-Chunks/releases/latest). Fixes are often shipped there before reaching Modrinth. ## About Start with a single chunk and expand your world chunk by chunk. Gathering Chunks turns world generation into a resource-gathering progression, find chests, craft Chunk Spawners, and unlock new terrain, chunk by chunk as you grow. ## Why This Fork? The original Chunk by Chunk by **immortius** is an excellent mod that deserves to stay alive. With the upstream project appearing discontinued (last update over a year ago), this fork picks up the torch: - Keeps the mod updated for current Minecraft versions - Currently supports **Fabric** and **NeoForge** on Minecraft **1.21.1 (NOT 1.21.11!!)** - Future support planned for newer versions - Forge will **not** be supported in this fork. For Forge 1.20.1, visit the [official mod page](https://modrinth.com/mod/chunkbychunk) ## How to Play 1. **Start small.** You begin with a single chunk in an otherwise empty world. 2. **Find chests.** Special chests are scattered around containing items needed to craft Chunk Spawners. 3. **Expand.** Place Chunk Spawners next to empty chunks and activate them to unlock new terrain. 4. **Progress.** Use World Cores, Forges, Scanners, and Menders to manage and automate your growing world. ## NOTE FOR THE VERSION CHECKING: Starting from version 2.2.5 (Beta 3.4, Hotfix 2), the mod performs an automatic version check on launch to notify you of available updates. **What is sent:** Your current mod version number only. **What is not sent:** No personal information, IP addresses, game data, or any other identifiable data. The entire update checking implementation is open source. You can audit it yourself by reviewing `UpdateChecker.java` in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/ryvione/Gathering-Chunks). The code is straightforward and requires only basic programming knowledge to verify. ## Compatibility | | | |---|---| | **Minecraft Version** | 1.21.1 | | **Mod Loaders** | Fabric, NeoForge | | **Fabric Dependencies** | Fabric API | | **Recommended Mods** | JEI / REI (recipe viewing), ModMenu (in-game config GUI) | ## Credits **Original Author:** [immortius](https://github.com/immortius) **Fork Maintainer:** Ryvione **Original Repository:** [github.com/immortius/chunkbychunk](https://github.com/immortius/chunkbychunk) ## License This mod is licensed under the MIT License.
