BedrockChunkVisualizer

A lightweight Minecraft Bedrock Edition addon that allows players to visualize chunk boundaries by holding a specially named compass.

Features

  • Visual Chunk Borders: See animated or non-animated particle borders around chunks
  • Current Chunk Highlighting: Your current chunk displays in yellow
  • Surrounding Chunks: The 8 surrounding chunks display in red
  • Item-Based Activation: Simply hold a compass named "chunky" or "stillchunky" to see borders
  • Player-Specific Display: Particles are only visible to the player holding the compass
  • Real-Time Coordinates: Action bar displays your current chunk coordinates

Installation

  1. Download the addon files
  2. Copy BedrockChunkVisualizer_BP to your behavior_packs folder
  3. Copy BedrockChunkVisualizer_RP to your resource_packs folder
  4. Activate both packs in your world settings

Usage

Activating Chunk Borders

  1. Obtain a compass (any compass)
  2. Rename it to "chunky" or "stillchunky" using an anvil
  3. Hold the renamed compass in your hand
  4. Chunk borders will automatically appear around you

Understanding the Display

  • Yellow Particles: The chunk you're currently standing in
  • Red Particles: The 8 chunks surrounding your current position
  • Action Bar: Shows dimension name and chunk coordinates [X, Z]

Deactivating

Simply switch to a different item or put away the compass - the borders will disappear.

Requirements

  • Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.21.0 or higher

Configuration

You can customize the trigger item by editing main.js:

const TRIGGER_ITEM_TYPE = 'minecraft:compass'; // Change item type
const TRIGGER_ITEM_NAME = 'chunky';            // Change required name
