Posted March 28, 20169 yr Do chunks have an ID associated with them, or just the x,z coords? I need to store information into a list about a block that exists inside a certain chunk. Hard to explain... I am saving data to the world and would only like to access NBT data if needed. That's where the chunk ID would come to play. I would check to see if NBT has a tag associated with the ID of the chunk so that I may load it's data into memory. If there is no such thing as a chunk ID, what are some alternatives I can do? Thank you!
March 28, 20169 yr The only unique identifier of a chunk is its x and z coordinates. Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.
March 28, 20169 yr Author Perhaps I can use the chunk's hashCode to obtain a unique Identifier? Or... I can make a matches method that compares the x and z coords and return true if... Yeah.. Would you happen to know the max and min x and z position of chunks?
March 28, 20169 yr Chunk#getChunkCoordIntPair returns the chunk's coordinates as a ChunkCoordIntPair . This class implements Object#hashCode to return a hash based on the coordinates. You can also use the ChunkCoordIntPair#chunkXZ2Int method to combine the x and z coordinates of a chunk into a long suitable for hashing. Please don't PM me to ask for help.
