Beacon Chunk Loading
This works by placing a redstone block next to a beacon, this then loads the chunk it is in, with lazy chunks surrounding it.
The reason you want to use this mod as apposed to nether portal chunk loading is as follows.
- It does not load both the nether and overworld saving performance
- It does not interfere with nether portals, and therefore nether travel is easier on a long running server.
- It balances the minecart cost by being a beacon, therefore it is actually overtime around the same cost as a normal chunk loader.
Because of the change from 1.19 to 1.20 this mod does not work in 1.20.x
