Chunk Loader Mod
Chunk Loader Mod adds a ChunkLoader block that keeps nearby chunks active, for builds that should keep running while the player is elsewhere.
What it does
A ChunkLoader block is added to the game, and a Chunk Loader item sits alongside it. When placed and powered, the block keeps a 3x3 area of chunks loaded, and a redstone line can be built so the loading works across the setup. Crying Obsidian is also part of the crafting path for the block.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds are published for ModLoader only, on game version b1.7.3, and snapshot builds are published as well. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
