FarmersMC Chunkloader
FarmersMC Chunkloader keeps chunks loaded so that farms and machines keep running while a player is far away from them.
What it does
Farms and automated machines stop when the chunk they sit in unloads, which happens once no player is nearby. This mod lets a player mark chunks as loaded, so the crops, generators and other machines inside them keep working. Author notes describe it as a chunkloading mod that pairs with FTB Chunks, and that claim is the one the card relies on: it is built around the same idea of claiming chunks for a team.
Chunks can be claimed and kept loaded from a map view, and the author describes selecting already loaded chunks on the map to manage them. The mod is written for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, so only that loader and that version are covered. The server and every player need the mod installed. The license is All rights reserved, which means the code is not open source, and the author permits use in modpacks, including redistribution.
Key features
Keep farms running
Chunks marked for loading stay active, so crops and machines inside them keep progressing while the player is elsewhere.
Map-based chunk selection
Loaded chunks can be chosen and checked from a map view, so a player can see which areas are kept active.
Works alongside FTB Chunks
The author links the mod to FTB Chunks as a companion for claiming and managing chunks.
Modpack use
The author allows the mod to be used freely in modpacks and redistributed with them.

Use cases

Modpack and server setups
Server owners and modpack authors can include the mod to keep machines running across a shared world.
Who it’s for: Players running automated farms and machines in a NeoForge 1.21.1 world, and server owners who want those machines to run while nobody is online nearby.
How it compares
FTB Chunks: Sable Aerospace is the NeoForge 1.21.1 option published under the MIT License. FTB Max Team Size covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.3 under All rights reserved, so it reaches more versions than this mod, which is only for 1.21.1. Both sides run the same way here, with the server and every player needing the mod.
