Chunks graph sits at 3200 when the server is idle, however, the world data tab says 52 chunks are loaded. The number given in the world data section is more believable, so what is the graph supposed to represent?

Same situation here. Nearly 9000 chunks displayed in the graph, and 180 stated as loaded in the world tab. I thought the higher number in the chart would be the total number of all chunks, but as players join or leave, the parameter changes.

Poking around the regions tab, I'm guessing the smaller number represents "chunks that have ticking entities", and the larger number is chunks with block data in memory, but not ticking

I'm also curious on what the chunks number means. I've been trying to assess the cause of lag on my server, and the graph tells me that there are around 2300 chunks loaded when only I am online. However, I tried the ChunkDebug mod, and it said only around 600 chunks are loaded. With that big a discrepancy, I'm curious which one is more accurate.

why was this closed? we didn't get a definitive answer, unless a change was made on the profiler that i missed
