FXNT Chunks
by foxynotail
FXNT Chunks is a Fabric chunk loading mod that lets operators keep chosen chunks loaded and ticking while no player is nearby.
What it does
Chunks loaded by FXNT Chunks can stay active when no player is online, or when a player stands outside their simulation distance. Two modes are offered: force loaded chunks stay loaded, and force ticking chunks stay loaded and also receive random block ticks. Operators select the chunks with a Chunk Wand item, which keeps the setup simple and avoids command-only management.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Fabric API is required, and Forge Config API Port is an optional dependency. Builds are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, as version 0.1-1.20.1 on the beta channel. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source is public.
Key features
Force loaded chunks
Selected chunks stay loaded when no player is online or when a player is beyond simulation distance.
Force ticking chunks
Selected chunks stay loaded and receive random block ticks in the same conditions as force loaded chunks.
Chunk Wand selection
Operators mark chunks by using the Chunk Wand item, so no command syntax is needed for each selection.
Simple chunk loading
The mod handles only chunk loading and ticking, without adding other gameplay content to the world.

Use cases
Keeping farms running
Automated farms or machines far from a player can keep working when the chunk they sit in stays loaded.
Server maintenance hubs
Server owners can keep a central area active while players are away, so shared builds keep ticking.
Who it’s for: Server operators and single-player players who run Fabric 1.20.1 and want certain chunks to remain loaded. The mod suits setups that need selected chunks active without a full chunk loading framework.
How it compares
ForceTick Server is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.20.1 with all rights reserved and no public source. CCChunkloader is a client and server Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is open source. FXNT Chunks covers 1.20.1 only, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it differs from each of these in version range, environment or license.
