Minecarts Load Chunks
by super4z
Minecarts Load Chunks keeps the chunks around a moving minecart loaded, so carts stop freezing when they leave the player's range.
What it does
The mod loads a 3x3 chunk area around each minecart as it travels, and a data pack version applies the same behaviour without a Java install. Minecarts also refuse to stop on chunks that are not loaded, which avoids carts halting in unloaded terrain. Its method for travelling past forceloaded chunks is marked unsafe by the author, so it should be tested before use on a busy server. Only the server must run the mod, while players can join without installing it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

It works by removing a 5x5 chunk of space from the list, and then adding a 3x3 chunk space around the minecart. This method is unsafe for use if the minecart path has it travelling past other forceloaded chunks that are not…
