Chunk Loader

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.

Chunk loading

Because of technical reasons, the Chunk Loader loads the chunks as the following. (every box is a chunk)

.	.	.	.	.
.	TI	TI	TI	.
.	TI	ET	TI	.
.	TI	TI	TI	.
.	.	.	.	.

• .: Not loaded, but mobs count for the mob cap
• TI: Normal except plant growth, mob spawning and mob ticking (movement)
• ET: Normal except plant growth and mob spawning
