Check if chunk is a spawnchunk.

I couldnt find any awnser on google, so I am asking it here.

How to check if a chunk is a spawnchunk, using the Bukkit API?

 

what is spawnchunk?

 

RawCode

i founded this https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/how-to-find-the-spawn-point.137100/

Code:java

Location spawn = world.getSpawnLocation();

then

Code:java

if (spawn.getChunk() == yourChunk)
 
//do stuff

let me know if works.

A spawn chunk is not only the chunk with the spawn inside.
"A Spawn Chunk is a chunk within the area surrounding the world spawn point"

How to find spawnchunks ingame: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Spawn_chunk#Finding_spawn_chunks

 

try to create yourself a method, i dont think bukkit has one

The problem is that I have really no idea how I need to do this.
That is why I created this forum post.

 

hm, check the center of a chunk. a chunck is 16*16? add 16 to x and you find the center of second one..
and keep going

or check the corners of the 16*16 chunks aerea

chunk is map section 16-16-256, size is fixed, your "article" is invalid, try again.

NoSpawnChunks uses another mechanism, which is not possible to use here:

Code:java

@EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.LOWEST)
public void onWorldInit(WorldInitEvent event) {
  World world = event.getWorld();
  world.setKeepSpawnInMemory(false);
}

not sure though but what if you do:

??.getWorld().getSpawnLocation().getChunk() ?, I would definetly think thats the chunk.

oh edit,

I understand now what you are saying hmm there isn't really a method in bukkit what I can think off however what I know is that the serounding spawn chunks are based on the center chunk.

but if you fly above the center chunk you probably see how the rows are loaded though I think they are around 3 * 16 or 6*16 as in rows

 

Get the middle point of The spawn chunk and check if x and z distance from your chunk is small enough.

 

sorry i decompiled it after my comment

EDIT: but why u need to know if is a spawnchunk? maybe we can help you creating a method if you tell us.

sorry for my english.

A command to tell the player if they are standing in a spawnchunk or not.

 

ahhhhh so its easy.
check if player is at tot distance from the center
