? Loadstone – Chunk Loader

Turn vanilla Lodestones into reliable, persistent, tiered chunk loaders to keep farms, machines, and redstone active while you’re away.

Tired of your farms, machines, or redstone contraptions stopping when you walk away?

Loadstone turns vanilla Lodestones into simple, reliable chunk loaders — activate a Lodestone with a material and the targeted chunks stay loaded, so everything in range continues running automatically.

• Tiered Chunk Loading: Switch tiers anytime by using different materials.
  • ⚒️ Iron → 1×1 chunk
  • ? Diamond → 3×3 chunks
  • ? Netherite → 5×5 chunks
• Persistent Loader State: Loaders are saved to disk and manage chunks properly.
• Smart Material System: Items are consumed on activation and returned on deactivation.
• Visual Feedback: Unique particle effects per tier.
• Real-Time HUD: Compact overlay showing loader status, tier, and coverage.
• No Overlaps: Loaders cannot overlap, preventing multiple loaders from forcing the same chunks.

Activation

1. Place a Lodestone anywhere in your world.
2. Hold the material for the tier:
   • ⚒️ Iron Ingot → 1×1
   • ? Diamond → 3×3
   • ? Netherite Ingot → 5×5
3. Right-click the Lodestone to activate.

Deactivation / Change Tier

• Right-click an active Lodestone with empty hand to deactivate — the activation item is returned.
• Right-click with a different valid material to change tier (old material returned).

? Only required for worlds that previously used Loadstone v1.0.

• Loadstone v1.0 stored loaders only in memory. Because of this, the mod could lose track of active loaders while Minecraft continued keeping the chunks force-loaded. This may create ghost-loaded chunks that keep running and may cause lag.

? One-time Fix (for each world that used v1.0):

1. Run /forceload remove all (cheats/admin required) to clear old forced chunks.
   • Singleplayer: Pause → Open to LAN → enable Allow Cheats → run the command (cheats are temporary).
   • Server: Use the server console or ask an admin to run the command.
2. Reactivate your loaders to register them in Loadstone v2.0.

? Skipping migration may leave ghost-loaded chunks active in your world.

? Notes

• Loaders keep areas active 24/7. Use responsibly to avoid performance issues.
• Using Loadstone v1.0 may result in unexpected behavior or performance issues. Upgrading or using Loadstone v2.0 is recommended for a stable and consistent experience.
• Lodestones only manage chunks they are attached to. Chunks already loaded by external means (commands, other mods, server tools) are not automatically owned. Activating a Lodestone in such a chunk attaches it, allowing the loader to manage it.
