Enable a visible ChunkyBorder edge for unmodified clients

Applies to: ChunkyBorder; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked .

A working custom border is not necessarily visible. ChunkyBorder’s visualizers are disabled by default, and the server-side option uses particles rather than the vanilla border renderer. Check enforcement first, then add the visual aid that ordinary clients can see.

Work through the change

  1. Read chunky border list and record the world’s existing bounds. Test the actual restriction with an ordinary account so a missing visual effect is not confused with a missing border.
  2. Back up the installed ChunkyBorder configuration and inspect visualizer-enabled. Confirm the setting exists in your release, then enable it using the documented configuration application method.
  3. Approach the border with an unmodified client while remaining inside the safe playable area. Check particle visibility and distance before changing range or colour from their documented defaults.
  4. Compare the view from a second account and check server response near a busy edge. Keep the effect’s range modest because server-side particles have a performance cost.

Check the result

Unmodified clients should see the particle guide within its configured range while the actual restriction remains unchanged. A Fabric client with the supported Chunky and ChunkyBorder mods can use a different visualizer, so record which client you tested. Neither display is a substitute for enforcement checks.

Leave the enforcement test in the change record alongside the screenshot. A visible particle wall can look convincing even when the actual border rule applies to a different world.

Recover or stop safely

Restore the previous visualization settings if particle load or visibility is unsuitable. Keep the border itself in place during that rollback. If players still cannot see particles, inspect their client particle settings and confirm the world identity before altering the playable boundary.
