Anabiosis
by 1Aa1k
Anabiosis catches unloaded chunks up on the time they missed, so crops, furnaces and marked farms advance when the area is loaded again.
What it does
When a chunk reloads, the server replays the time it was away. Each block's own randomTick runs on the random ticks drawn from the same distribution a live chunk would use, so light, hydration and spacing rules still apply without being reimplemented.
Fuel, cook progress and brew cycles are computed per event, letting furnaces, blast furnaces, smokers and brewing stands move forward arithmetically across the time that elapsed. The mod is open source under the MIT License, requires Fabric API, and is server-side only, so vanilla clients connect without installing anything. Its files target 26.2, with 0.3.1 as the latest build.
Key features
Crops and plants catch up
Growable blocks in unloaded chunks receive the random ticks they missed when the chunk reloads.
Furnaces and brewing stands
Smelting, smoking and brewing progress is computed over the elapsed time, and smelting XP is banked the way vanilla pays it out.
Mob farm simulation
Spawning, pathfinding and water streams are simulated for the missed time, so a farm left idle keeps producing.
Throttled reloads
Catch-up work is queued and kept within a per-tick budget, so the server holds its tick rate during reloads.

Use cases
Farms outside a player's range
Crops, furnaces and mob farms keep their progress when the player is far away, without chunk loaders keeping them ticking.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want unloaded farms and processing to advance without keeping chunks loaded, and players who run survival worlds on a server.

What the author says
Greek: return to life after suspended animation. A server-side Fabric mod that makes unloaded chunks catch up on the time they missed when they reload - crops grow, furnaces finish, and marked farms genuinely run - without chunk loaders and without keeping anything ticking while you're away.
