Loading Chunks Before Teleporting

I have a randomTP plugin that I made, but the problem that we keep getting is that if it teleports you to a new chunk you will sometimes die because you get stuck in solid blocks, or fall into the void. I'm wondering if there is a way to make the chunk load/generate before the player gets teleported.

Saxon564 this might be of some help.

You can use world.loadChunk(x, y), to generate the chunk.

 

metalhedd & SuperOmegaCow: I am looking at the pages you gave me now, maybe they will help, thank you for the links, and i will let you know.

CoderCloud: is the x, y the teleport coords or the chunk coords?
e.g. is world.loadChunk(100, 100) going to load chunk 100, 100 or is it going to load the chunk that contains x = 100 and y = 100

It will load the chunk with the chunk coordinates, not block coordinates.

 

The_Doctor_123 ok, thanks

If you're having trouble, I believe there is a getChunk() method in Location.

 

it will load the chunk with co-ordinate 100, 100. The code below shows how to convert regular location co-ords to chunk co-ords and back again using bitshifting:

Code:java

 
int chunkLocationX = player.getLocation.getBlockX() >> 4;
int playerLocationX = chunkLocationX << 4;
 

 

you could define a location then use

Code:

loc.getWorld().refreshChunk(loc.getChunk().getX(), loc.getChunk().getZ());

it forces to generate chunks to before the player teleports

credits to codenameB though
