Chunk Schedudeler
by hd42
Chunk Schedudeler is a Fabric and Forge optimization mod that adds a block for loading the chunks around it, with charge and upgrades controlling how long it stays active.
What it does
The Schedudeler is the only block the mod adds. Once placed it holds no charge, and right clicking it with a recharge item fills it. A Schedudeler refills its charge at any distance from its owner, provided the owner is logged in, and it also refills while a player stays within 24 blocks of it. Charge drains slowly over time and the block keeps the chunks around it loaded while it has charge. The default capacity is 576000 ticks, about 8 hours, and the default chunk radius is 0, so a new block only loads the chunk it sits in. Its center is a Tinted Glass Block, which pulses slowly while the Schedudeler is charged or active.
The core of the mod is a scheduling algorithm that caps how many chunk loaders may be active in the same dimension at once. The default limit is 8, and loaders queued beyond it are activated in turn over a set period, with 80 ticks as the default interval. Server owners can change both values. For example, with the limit set to 2, only two chunk loaders run at any moment, which keeps server load controlled. Chunk Schedudeler runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Both Fabric and Forge builds exist for 1.18.2 – 1.20.4, and the source code is public under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Charge that recharges
A Schedudeler recharges while its owner is online and a player is within 24 blocks, and charge drains slowly over time.
Controlled chunk loading
Only a configurable number of chunk loaders run in each dimension at the same time, with queued loaders started in turn.
Upgrades for capacity and radius
An Iron Ingot raises the maximum charge to 1728000 ticks, about 24 hours, and a Gold Ingot increases the chunk radius to a 3x3 chunk area.
Ownership and locking
An Ender Eye lets a player claim a Schedudeler, and a Chain prevents others from applying upgrades by mistake.
Loaded area preview
Right clicking a Schedudeler with a Redstone Torch shows the loaded chunk boundaries for a short time, and the torch is used up.

What the author says
Efficient and controlled chunk loading (server friendly). The Schedudeler is the only block added by this mod. It is capable to load chunks in an area around it but will slowly loose charge over time.
