GalacticChunks is a next‑generation chunk storage engine that replaces Minecraft’s bulky .mca region files with a sleek, highly‑compressed .gregion format. It’s built for servers that want cleaner world storage, faster disk operations, and long‑term reliability—without touching Paper’s chunk logic or interfering with gameplay.

GalacticChunks is purely a storage layer.
It does not modify world generation, ticking, lighting, or Paper/Purpur internals.
Your server plays exactly the same—your world just becomes dramatically more efficient behind the scenes.

? Key Features
• Safe, Automatic Migration from .mca → .gregion
GalacticChunks includes a fully safe migration system that converts your existing vanilla region files into its optimized .gregion format.

No commands

No world resets

No data loss

No interruptions

Your world stays exactly the same—only the storage format changes.

⭐ Your world is NEVER deleted
Installing GalacticChunks does not wipe, reset, or regenerate your world.
It simply reads your existing .mca files and writes them into .gregion format.
If you ever remove the plugin, your original .mca files remain untouched.

⚡ 3× to 10× Smaller Region Files
.gregion files are designed to be 3–10× smaller than vanilla .mca, using a combination of:

modern compression (including Zstd)

tighter binary layouts

reduced overhead and redundancy

This means:

faster backups

faster uploads/downloads

less disk I/O under load

significantly lower storage usage on hosts

? Modern Compression Stack, Pure Java
GalacticChunks uses a stack of modern compression and encoding techniques, including Zstd, to balance:

high compression ratio

fast decompression

stable performance

full cross‑platform support

Everything runs in pure Java—no native libraries, no JNI, no OS‑specific hacks.

? Pure Storage Layer — Zero Gameplay Interference
GalacticChunks does not change how chunks behave in‑game. It only changes how they are stored on disk.

It works seamlessly alongside:

ViaVersion / ViaBackwards / ViaRewind

ProtocolLib

AuthMe

Essentials

Anti‑Xray

Any world generator

Any Paper/Purpur fork

If your server loads chunks, GalacticChunks stores them—nothing more.

? Perfect For
Long‑term SMPs

Large or old worlds

Servers with limited disk space

Hosts with slower or shared storage

Anyone who wants cleaner, safer world files
