Chunklock

Overview

Chunklock completely changes the way players experience Minecraft survival. Every chunk is locked by default. Players must gather resources, explore, and plan carefully to unlock neighboring chunks — making exploration, resource management, and strategy the core of progression.

No more instant exploration across thousands of blocks — Chunklock turns your world into a massive puzzle where every chunk is earned!

How It Works
