Load My Chunks
by Drathonix
Load My Chunks keeps chunks loaded through chunk loaders, and a server can put chunks that run too slowly into a dormant state, with Architectury API and Fabric API required.
What it does
A chunk that is force-loaded only stays active when at least one chunk loader covers it. Chunk loaders keep working when no player is online. If a forced chunk's tick duration goes above the server's maximum, the chunk stops being forced and enters a dormant state for some time. Once the dormant period ends, it wakes again and gets a brief grace period in which it is exempt from tick duration checks, which gives multiblock structures, such as Mekanism multiblocks with their initial load overhead, a chance to reinitialize.
Architectury API and Fabric API are required on Fabric, and Architectury API is required on Forge and NeoForge. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source. Each release line expects its own Java runtime: 1.16.5 runs on Java 8, 1.18.2 – 1.20.4 on Java 17, and 1.20.6 onward on Java 21, so matching the runtime to the release prevents problems.
Key features
Server-friendly chunk loading
Only chunks that contain at least one chunk loader remain force-loaded, which limits the server work spent on idle areas.
Dormant chunks
A forced chunk whose tick duration exceeds the server maximum is paused in a dormant state instead of running at full cost.
Grace period after dormancy
After a dormant period, a chunk is exempt from tick duration checks for a short time, so multiblocks can reinitialize.
Operation without players
Chunk loaders continue to work with no player online, so force-loaded areas stay active on a server.

What the author says
Chunks are forceloaded only if they contain at least one chunk loader. If the chunk tick duration exceeds the server side maximum, then the chunk will cease being forceloaded and enter a dormant state for some time. Dormant forced chunks will awaken once more at the end of the dormant period and enter a brief grace…
