About this Mod

Chunk Loader

GitHub release (latest by date) GitHub all releases Minecraft

With Chunk Loader Datapack the Chunk Loader is added to the game. With it - surprise - you can permanently load chunks.
This means that you can be anywhere in the world, while the chunk in which the Chunk Loader is placed is still loaded.

In order for the Chunk Loader to load the chunk, it needs 3 Redstone Dust per minute. To fill, simply right-click and place it inside. As soon as there is no more Redstone dust inside, the chunk loader stops working and the chunk will be unloaded until new Redstone dust is added.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chunk Loader server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Chunk Loader compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Chunk Loader officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Chunk Loader – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Chunk Loader consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
