How to get Chunks

[agile beacon]

its possible to get chunks in the world with scripting? I want to do a custom world gen and place structures per chunks gen. If not, do you know what its the formula to get chunks in world gen?

Just divide by 16?

[agile beacon]

divide what exactly?
0,0,0 position?

The world coordinates.

But that alone doesn't guarantee that it's the center of a chunk, does it?

It's simple math, each chunk is 16x16 on the x/z axis. Get a random coordinate, and calcukate the nearest chunk border.

Do math.

[agile beacon]

const chunkX = Math.floor(pos.x / 16);
const chunkZ = Math.floor(pos.z / 16);

const cornerX = chunkX * 16;
const cornerZ = chunkZ * 16;```
this should work, right?

        const { x: locX, y: locY, z: locZ } = player.location;

        const chunkIndex = {
            x: Math.floor(locX / 16),
            y: Math.floor(locY / 16),
            z: Math.floor(locZ / 16)
        };
        const relativePosition = {
            x: Math.floor(locX % 16),
            y: Math.floor(locY % 16),
            z: Math.floor(locZ % 16)
        };```

I had this code

just shared it if you need

thank you!

[agile beacon]

but I will use this since I have to get the chunk corner to place a structure

[distant jewel]

and Yes your math is right for getting the corner

thx
