Restore Spawn Chunks
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Readds Spawn Chunks which were removed in 25w31a.
Spawn Chunks are chunks around spawn that are always loaded
19x19 Chunks by default
Commands
/function spawnchunks:admin/set {value:9}
modifies the area of Spawn Chunks specified by the number following value: (Default: 9)
| Value | Chunks Effected |
|---|---|
| -1 | 0x0 |
| 0 | 1x1 |
| 1 | 3x3 |
| 2 | 5x5 |
| 3 | 7x7 |
| 4 | 9x9 |
| ... | ... |
| 15 | 31x31 |
Troubleshooting
- you can run
/forceload query ~ ~to check if the chunk you are currently standing in is being forceloaded (white text means it is, red text means it is not)
if the datapack isn't working:
- try running
/reload - try restarting/rejoining the world
- try re-running
/function spawnchunks:admin/set {value:x}(x being the value of your choice) - if nothing else works:
- run
/function spawnchunks:admin/set {value:-1} - then do
/tp 00000051-0000-005a-0000-002f0000002b @swhile standing on the center of your spawn chunk(this teleports the entity to world spawn if it somehow had gotten somewhere else) - then run
/function spawnchunks:admin/set {value:x}again (x being the value of your choice)
- run
