🌾 How It Works
Based on the proven concept from FXNT Chunks by foxynotail.
The Technique:
- Chunk Forced Loading - Uses
setChunkForced()to keep chunks loaded - Manual Random Ticks - Applies random ticks to blocks for crop growth
What Works Automatically When Chunk Is Forced:
- ✅ Sugar cane farms (observers + pistons + hoppers)
- ✅ Cactus farms
- ✅ Bamboo farms
- ✅ Item collection systems
- ✅ Hopper processing
- ✅ Redstone contraptions
- ✅ Block entities (chests, hoppers, etc.)
- ✅ Entity ticking (items on water, mobs)
