Settings SpawnChunksRadious
by anewri32
Settings SpawnChunksRadious lets a world keep a larger spawn chunk radius, set through a data pack, without enabling cheats.
What it does
The mod ships as a data pack that sets the game's spawnChunksRadious value to 12 in the world, the default used by older versions. Players do not need to activate cheats to apply it. The pack is placed in the world's Datapacks folder, and nothing else needs to be installed.
Spawn chunks stay loaded even when a player walks away from them. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.20.5 and 1.21. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source. The server requires it, while the client may skip it.
