Chunk Loaders
With Chunk Loaders, a player places a loader block that keeps nearby chunks active, and it comes in tiers that cover a single chunk, a 3 by 3 area, a 5 by 5 area or a 7 by 7 area.
What it does
Chunk Loaders adds placeable chunk loader blocks in several tiers. A loader keeps its chunk and the surrounding chunks in its area loaded, so machines and farms in those chunks keep running while the player is elsewhere. Individual chunks can also be loaded through a map, which lets a player choose exactly which chunks stay active without placing a block at each one.
Held chunks also get random ticks, and that is what keeps crops, cane and saplings in them growing. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, under All rights reserved, and its required libraries are Fabric API, SuperMartijn642's Config Lib and SuperMartijn642's Core Lib. Files cover 51 release versions, 1.12 – 26.3, with 1.2.9 as the latest build.
Key features
Tiered loader blocks
Loaders come in tiers that keep a single chunk, a 3 by 3 area, a 5 by 5 area or a 7 by 7 area active.
Map-based chunk selection
Single chunks can be loaded through a map, so a player picks the chunks to keep active without placing a block in each one.
Random ticks in loaded chunks
Crops, cane and trees in chunks held by the loaders receive random ticks and keep growing.
Chunk-held machines
Machines and farms inside held chunks keep operating while the player is far away, so production continues between visits.

Use cases
Automated farms
A farm in a distant chunk keeps growing while the player explores, because its chunks stay loaded.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners can keep a shared base or farm active when no player is nearby.
Who it’s for: Players who run farms or machines far from where they usually play, and server owners who want parts of a world to stay active without a player present.

What the author says
Chunk Loaders allows you keep chunks loaded with different tiers of chunk loaders! Individual chunks can be loaded though a map and the chunk loaders can load chunks in up to a 7 by 7 area. Chunks loaded by the chunk loaders will also receive random ticks, so crops, sugar cane and trees will keep growing.
