Dimensional Anchors

The block keeps the chunks around it loaded, so machines and farms in those chunks keep running while no player is nearby. Right-clicking the block opens a GUI where the loaded area can be grown or shrunk one chunk at a time, using a green button to expand and a red button to shrink. A third green line drawn at the corner of the loaded area marks the edge of the visible chunks, and pressing F9 shows every loaded chunk in a Teleport Tether style display.

The mod was written mainly for server administrators. Server operators and singleplayer owners can change the size of a loaded area without breaking or replacing the block, while other players are limited to a set number of force-loaded chunks. Fuel use grows with the number of chunks loaded, so a 3x3 loader consumes nine times the fuel of a 1x1 loader. Available fuels and their values are set in immibis.cfg, and a few commands are limited to operators. Immibis Core is required.
