Forceloader Mod
Forceloader Mod lets a single block keep chunks loaded, so machines and farms keep running while the player is away.
What it does
Placing the Forceloader block in the center of an area keeps that area active by default, one chunk around the block, so automated systems there continue to run when no player is nearby. The block is aimed at long-distance transport pipes, large iron farms and automated quarries. Forceloader Mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, for the game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is under All rights reserved.
Builds exist for 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.8. The latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.4 and the latest NeoForge file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.8, both dated 2026-01-15.
Key features
Persistent chunk loading
A forceloaded chunk stays active after players leave the area, so the machines inside keep working.
Single-block setup
One block placed at the center of the area to be kept active is the only configuration needed.
Server-friendly design
The block is meant to keep productivity high while limiting the lag that wide chunk loading can cause.

How it compares
Chunk Cap Guard is a server-side only option for Forge and NeoForge, released under All rights reserved, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1. Persistent Bits is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and targets Forge for 1.8.9 – 1.19.2, so it does not cover the versions this mod supports.
