How to create a chunk loader?

Hey guys!

 

I want to create a chunk loader which keeps all the chunks in an adjustable radius round the block loaded. How can I do this?

I tried the following, but this didn't work:

In a tileEntity I overrode onChunkUnloading and added the method worldObj.getChunkProvider().loadChunk(...);

 

This only caused that the server fails to shut down. The commandBlock i placed there didn't write anything in the chat as it should.

 

So, how can I create a working chunk loader block?

Basically it works fine, thanks for that!

 

But I got two problems:

First, I don't understand how to use the LoadingCallback.

Second, if I reload a world and remove the chunkloader, I get this error:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

The code of my chunkloader is this:

OK. I did this now, but actually it doesn't work any more.

 

I did it like this:

Well, I now copied some if the code, but it is from 1.6 and I get some problems.

 

For example, this line of code is used very often:

world.theChunkProviderServer.loadedChunks

The problem is, that this is declared private in the class ChunkProviderServer.

 

How can I get acces to this field? Or do you know another way to get the actual loaded chunks?

When I created a chunkloader for 1.6.4, I created a class and had it implement 'net.minecraftforge.common.ForgeChunkManager.LoadingCallback'.

 

WorldEvents:

public class WorldEvents implements LoadingCallback {

@Override
public void ticketsLoaded(List<Ticket> tickets, World world) {
		//TODO: somthing when the tickets are loaded

}
}

 

Immobile Entity (Loading a block should be the same.  Note: this only loads on chunk):

...
if(!worldObj.isRemote) {
Ticket ticket = ForgeChunkManager.requestTicket(AdvancedRocketry.instance, this.worldObj, Type.NORMAL);
        if(ticket != null)
      ForgeChunkManager.forceChunk(ticket, new ChunkCoordIntPair((int)this.posX / 16, (int)this.posZ / 16));
}
...

 

 

Hope this helps...
