Bedrock ChunkLoader
Your farms work brilliantly — until you walk 30 blocks away and everything grinds to a halt. ChunkLoader adds placeable blocks that keep chunks loaded and ticking, so your contraptions finally work without a babysitter.
Key Features
- Persistent Chunk Loading - Keep farms and contraptions running while you're away
- Farm Mode - Mob farms keep producing drops even when no player is nearby
- Looting Sword Support - Hold a looting sword while your farm runs to boost drop amounts, just like a real trident killer
- 12 Supported Farm Types - Iron, Gold, General Mob, Creeper, Witch, Enderman, Blaze, Guardian, Drowned, Slime, Fish & Ink, Magma Cube
- Redstone Control - Power a chunk loader with redstone to pause chunk loading
- Configurable Chunk Radius - 2-6 chunks (5x5 to 13x13 chunk areas)
- Visual Status Display - Animated textures and floating text show loader status
- Three-State Display - Active (green), Inactive (red), Redstone Off (orange)
- Setup Validation - Ensures correct placement above a hopper or water stream
- Owner Protection - Only the owner or admins can remove a chunk loader
- Player Limits - Configurable max loaders per player (1-20)
- Admin Panel - Full management via /mygen:chunkloaders with global controls
- Floating Text Behind Walls - Raycasting hides text through blocks
- Craftable - Diamonds, Ender Pearls, and a Beacon (recipe unlocks on obtaining a Beacon)
- No Beta APIs Required - Achievement friendly
- Multiplayer Ready - Works on realms and servers
How to Use
Getting a Chunk Loader
Craft one at a crafting table — 4 Diamonds, 4 Ender Pearls, and a Beacon in the middle. The recipe unlocks when you pick up a Beacon, because if you can kill a Wither you've earned the right to keep your farms running unsupervised.
You can also grab one from the creative inventory under Equipment if you're not feeling the grind.
Placing & Managing
Place the block wherever you want chunks to stay loaded. It'll activate automatically and show its status with floating text above the block — green tick means working, red cross means off. Right-click (interact with) it to open the management menu where you can toggle it on/off, set a farm type, and check its status.
Only you (or an admin) can break your chunk loaders. Nobody's griefing your setup.
Farm Mode
This is where it gets good. Place the chunk loader above your farm's collection system — either a hopper directly below or a water stream within 2 blocks. Open the menu, hit Set Farm Type, and pick from 12 supported farms:
| Farm Type |
Drops |
| Iron Farm |
Iron Ingots, Poppies |
| Gold Farm |
Gold Nuggets, Rotten Flesh, Gold Ingots |
| General Mob Farm |
Gunpowder, Bones, Arrows, String, Spider Eyes, Rotten Flesh |
| Creeper Farm |
Gunpowder |
| Witch Farm |
Glowstone Dust, Redstone, Sugar, Sticks, Glass Bottles, Gunpowder, Spider Eyes |
| Enderman Farm |
Ender Pearls |
| Blaze Farm |
Blaze Rods |
| Guardian Farm |
Prismarine Shards, Prismarine Crystals, Cod |
| Drowned Farm |
Rotten Flesh, Copper Ingots, Nautilus Shells, Tridents |
| Slime Farm |
Slimeballs |
| Fish & Ink Farm |
Ink Sacs, Glow Ink Sacs, Cod, Salmon |
| Magma Cube Farm |
Magma Cream |
When no player is within the configured proximity distance, the chunk loader handles the farming for you. Walk away guilt-free.
Looting Sword Support
Want more drops? Hold a Looting-enchanted sword while your farm is running and the looting level applies to the farm's drop rates automatically — just like a real trident killer. No extra setup, just hold and profit.
Redstone Control
Hook up a redstone signal to your chunk loader to pause it. The block switches to an orange [REDSTONE OFF] state while powered, so you can build automated on/off systems or just slap a lever on it. There's a 2-second grace period when deactivating to prevent chunk unloading race conditions, because we thought of that so you don't have to.
For Admins
Run /mygen:chunkloaders to open the admin panel. From there you can:
- View every chunk loader in the world
- Set max loaders per player (1-20)
- Set default chunk radius (2-6 chunks)
- Toggle global enable/disable (kills everything at once)
- Toggle farm mode permissions and redstone control
- Set farm proximity distance (32-256 blocks)
- Teleport to any loader for inspections
- Delete orphaned chunk loader data from blocks lost to chunk issues
Players who open the admin panel get the chunk_admin tag, letting them break any chunk loader regardless of ownership.
