The record

Purpose: ChunkCleaner deletes Minecraft region files (.mca) with low playtime to save space and improve performance.
How it judges use: It uses each chunk’s InhabitedTime to determine whether it is used.
Comparison modes: The `-mode` option supports `perChunk` and `regionSum`; its default is `perChunk`.
Threshold: The `-minInhabitedTicks` option defaults to `250` and sets the value for a chunk to count as used.
Dry run: The `-dryRun` option runs without making changes and defaults to `false`.
File handling: The `-newPath` option moves region files to a specified path; if omitted, `.mca` files are deleted.
Input: The `-path` option specifies the directory containing `.mca` files to clean.
Known caveat: The README warns that Minecraft’s `InhabitedTime` may increment slower than expected in some chunks and names versions 1.12.2, 1.17.1 and 1.18.2 as affected examples.
License: The repository includes an MIT license.
Warranty: The README says the software is provided as is and disclaims warranties and liability.
Intended users: The README describes it as a tool for deleting unused chunks or regions from Minecraft worlds based on playtime.
Planned options: The README lists adding `LightPopulated` and `TerrainPopulated` as TODOs.
How it measures use: It uses a chunk’s InhabitedTime value to decide whether it has been played in enough.
Verbose output: The -v option increases the amount of information shown during processing and defaults to false.
