Create: Power Loader
by Lysine
With Create: Power Loader installed, andesite and brass chunk loaders keep chunks loaded around trains, contraptions and the blocks placed beside them.
What it does
The mod adds two tiers of chunk loader to the Create system. The andesite chunk loader keeps a single chunk loaded, while the brass chunk loader has a configurable loading range that runs from 1x1 up to 5x5 chunks. Loaders can be attached to Train Stations so loading stays limited to the areas where it is needed.
Chunk loading can be adjusted through the server configs, and the loaders can be switched on and off in-game from contraption controls. Create is required, and Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional companion that shows the crafting recipes. The provided recipes can be replaced with a custom datapack if they do not suit a server.
Both sides run it, so a server and its players each need the mod. Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge across the 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 range, with 2.0.5-mc1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge file. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Two chunk loader tiers
Andesite loaders keep one chunk loaded, and brass loaders cover a larger area.
Configurable brass range
The brass chunk loader can be set to a loading area from 1x1 to 5x5 chunks.
Trains and contraptions
Loaders work on the ground, on trains and on moving contraptions.
Train Station attachment
Loaders can be attached to Train Stations so chunks stay loaded only where trains stop.
In-game toggle
Contraption controls switch a loader on or off without editing the server configs.

Use cases
Keeping train routes active
Trains keep moving through distant track sections when the loaders around their stations hold the chunks loaded.
Running contraptions far from the player
Machines built on contraptions continue to operate while the player is elsewhere in the world.
Who it’s for: Players who run Create trains or contraptions on a Forge or NeoForge server, and server owners who want chunk loading tied to Create machinery rather than a general command.
How it compares
Chunky McChunkFace is open source under the MIT License, with Forge and NeoForge files for 1.18.2 – 26.2, and it is client and server. Redstone Chunk Loader is server required with optional client, under the MIT License, for 1.20 – 1.21 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Chunk Loaders is client and server and covers the widest range, but it is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
