Ender Pearl Chunk Loader

A Minecraft Bedrock behavior pack that makes thrown ender pearls force-load chunks around them while in flight.

What it does

Vanilla Bedrock doesn't tick unloaded chunks — farms and machines stop when you're far away. This pack adds minecraft:tick_world to the ender pearl entity, keeping chunks active in a configurable radius around the pearl as it travels.

Requirements

• Minecraft Bedrock 26.20+
• Achievements remain enabled (tested on Bedrock 26.20)

Installation

1. Download the .mcpack from CurseForge
2. Open it — Minecraft will import it automatically
3. Apply the pack to your world under Behavior Packs

Settings

Select the ticking radius from the pack settings slider before applying:

Higher values load more chunks but may cause lag on low-end devices.

What works in loaded chunks

Mob farms won't benefit from this pack — spawning always requires a player within simulation distance.

How it compares to /tickingarea

/tickingarea is static — you define fixed areas upfront. This pack loads chunks dynamically as the pearl flies, which is useful for chunk-loading contraptions that need to cover variable paths.

Vanilla reference

The ender pearl entity definition is based on the official Mojang bedrock-samples repository at tag v1.26.20.4. The only modification is the addition of minecraft:tick_world — all other behavior matches vanilla exactly.
