Pieced — Chunk Loaders

by bluffcon · on Modrinth

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.10 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.10 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.10 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.10 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.10 · Quilt
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.

Chunk Loading made easy!

Everything is done by one upgradeable block — the Chunk Loader. It has 3 tiers, all differ in something. This datapack is completely vanilla — you don't actually need a mod loader to play with Pieced.

Getting Started

The concept is painfully simple — make a block, infuse it with a resource, and it works!

Crafitng Recipe for the loadless loader

Deepslate Tiles, Gold Ingots, and Glass.

Putting down this Chunk Loader will not load any chunks, you need to activate it first. It's activated by throwing an item at it!

To pick up the chunk loader, you have to burn it! Put fire atop of it, with a flint and steel or a fire charge, and there you have it! It retains your upgrades, but the moment you pick it up it stops working!

The datapack includes tips on how to handle the chunk loader, mod-like tooltips, compatibility with other mods and datapacks, and much more! I tried to write this datapack as simple in inner workings as possible, the source code has comments everywhere, so if you wish to learn how to make datapacks, feel free to look at the source code!

FAQ

Can I put this on my redstone farm? // Yes!! The crops and redstone will tick there!

Can I put this on my mob farm? // No! Mobs won't spawn without a player around!

Can I re-upgrade Chunk Loaders to higher tiers? // To have a sense of resource balance, when you activate a chunk loader, that loader can't be reactivated again to a higher tier! Sorry!

How can I view chunk borders? // Press F3 + G!
