Minecarts Load Chunks
A quick and dirty data pack to load a 3x3 chunk space around every minecart in the world.
About this Mod
A quick and dirty data pack to load a 3x3 chunk space around every minecart in the world. It works by removing a 5x5 chunk of space from the /forceload list, and then adding a 3x3 chunk space around the minecart. This method is unsafe for use if the minecart path has it travelling past other forceloaded chunks that are not replaced. This is to prevent minecarts from ever stopping at unloaded chunks.
