Simplex Trimmer

Effortless World Optimization for Modern Servers

Simplex Trimmer is the ultimate administrative utility designed to reclaim disk space by intelligently removing unused chunks. Powered by the industry-standard MCASelector technology, it allows you to trim gigabytes of data from your world files directly in-game via a polished, immersive GUI.

Now updated for v11.0 with Scheduled Maintenance and Audio Feedback!

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: READ BEFORE USE

🛑 BACKUPS ARE MANDATORY

This plugin permanently deletes chunk data. Once a chunk is trimmed, it is gone forever and will be regenerated to its original seed state if visited again.

• ALWAYS create a full backup of your world folders before running this tool.
• DO NOT stop the server once the process has started.
• The server will restart automatically upon completion.

⚡ Key Features

• GUI-Based Management No complex command-line arguments needed. Control the entire process via a clean, intuitive inventory interface with sound effects and immersive visuals.
• Scheduled Maintenance (New!) Don't just kick players instantly. Schedule your optimization with a built-in Countdown Timer (Immediate, 1m, 3m, or 5m). The server will broadcast warnings and play ticking sounds to alert players.
• Smart Filtering & Risk Analysis Utilizes Minecraft's native InhabitedTime to distinguish between active bases and flyover terrain. Items in the GUI now display Risk Levels and Potential Savings to help you decide.
• Dynamic Tool Updater The plugin automatically connects to the GitHub API to fetch the absolute latest version of the MCASelector binary, ensuring you always have the most compatible tools.
• Massive Space Savings Drastically reduces world folder size (often by 40-70%).
• Safety Lock Includes aggressive chunk unloading to prevent file locks, a mandatory chat confirmation, and a countdown system to prevent data corruption.

✅ Compatibility

Simplex Trimmer is built for modern Minecraft server software (1.21+).

📖 How It Works

Minecraft tracks how long players spend in a chunk using a value called InhabitedTime (measured in ticks). Simplex Trimmer scans your region files and deletes chunks where the InhabitedTime is lower than your selected threshold.

Recommended Thresholds

• 30 Seconds (600 Ticks) — Safe Removes chunks generated by Elytra flyovers. Keeps almost everything else.
• 1 Minute (1200 Ticks) — Balanced Good for removing paths traveled briefly.
• 3 Minutes (3600 Ticks) — Moderate (New!) Bridges the gap between casual travel and short stops.
• 5 Minutes (6000 Ticks) — Aggressive Removes areas where players haven't stopped to build or mine.
• 10 Minutes (12000 Ticks) — Very Aggressive Only keeps established bases.
