Always Loaded
by ForwarD-NerN
Always Loaded keeps portal chunk loaders active after a server restarts, so chunks stay loaded without a player nearby.
What it does
On shutdown the server saves pending chunk tickets to a tickets.saved file in each dimension's data folder, and on start it recreates them, so portal chunk loaders resume their work. The mod works in both multiplayer and singleplayer worlds. It requires Fabric API and runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric across 31 release versions, 1.15 – 1.21.4, under the MIT License, and the project is open source.
Key features
Restart recovery
Pending chunk tickets are written to disk when the server stops and read back when it starts again.
Per-dimension ticket files
Each dimension keeps its own tickets.saved file inside its data folder in the world directory.
Singleplayer and multiplayer
The same saving and restoring logic applies whether the world runs on a local server or a dedicated one.

What the author says
Server-side fabric mod that allows portal chunk loaders to automatically restart after a server restart. When the server is about to stop, Always Loaded saves all pending chunk tickets into a file(world/.../[dimension]/data/tickets.saved). Then, when the server starts, it just recreates them.
