Load the world around the player in chunks without reloading at every border step

A big open world is built in pieces that load near the player and unload far away. If both happen at the same distance, walking back and forth over a border loads and drops the same piece again and again. Here is the rule that stops it, and a negative-coordinate trap.

Why this works

A single border invites flip-flopping: step over it and the piece loads, step back and it vanishes. Two borders with a quiet zone between them mean small movements change nothing, so work happens only when the player truly goes somewhere new.

When not to use it

Not needed for a small world that fits in memory at once, and too slow when the player can jump across the map in a blink. For those, load everything at the start, or load the destination fully before the jump.
