Simple Chunkloader [FABRIC]
by xZarex
Simple Chunkloader keeps selected chunks loaded, so farms and machines keep running while a player is far away.
What it does
The mod lets a player choose a loading range of 1x1, 3x3 or 5x5 chunks around a chunk loader block. While the loader is active, the chunks in that area stay loaded, and their blocks, block entities and entities continue to tick. The author notes that random ticking, block ticking and entity ticking all run in loaded chunks, which lets saplings and seeds grow and machines keep working in areas no player is near.
Simple Chunkloader requires Fabric API, so that library must be installed alongside it on Fabric. The mod is distributed only for Fabric and covers the 1.18.2 – 1.19.2 range, with files for 1.18.2, 1.19, 1.19.1 and 1.19.2. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Selectable loading range
A chunk loader can keep a 1x1, 3x3 or 5x5 area of chunks loaded, chosen by the player.
Random ticking for crops
Random ticks continue in loaded chunks, so saplings and seeds grow while the player is elsewhere.
Block and entity ticking
Blocks and entities inside loaded chunks keep updating, so machines and mobs in those areas stay active.
Persistent chunk loading
Chunks covered by a loader stay loaded in the world rather than unloading when the player moves away.

Use cases
Remote farms
Crop and tree farms placed far from a base keep growing without the player returning to the area.
Automated factories
Machines and item transport in remote chunks keep running while the player explores or builds elsewhere.
Who it’s for: Players who run automated builds in Fabric worlds and need parts of the map to stay active, and server owners who want remote machines to keep running on a Fabric server.
