Troubleshooting
- you can run
/forceload query ~ ~to check if the chunk you are currently standing in is being forceloaded (white text means it is, red text means it is not)
if the datapack isn't working:
- try running
/reload - try restarting/rejoining the world
- try re-running
/function spawnchunks:admin/set {value:x}(x being the value of your choice) - if nothing else works:
- run
/function spawnchunks:admin/set {value:-1} - then do
/tp 00000051-0000-005a-0000-002f0000002b @swhile standing on the center of your spawn chunk(this teleports the entity to world spawn if it somehow had gotten somewhere else) - then run
/function spawnchunks:admin/set {value:x}again (x being the value of your choice)
- run
