My block needs to be ticked all the time, but chunk loading it just unloads the chunk. I am using this.worldObj.getChunkProvider()

.loadChunk(

this.worldObj.getChunkFromBlockCoords(this.xCoord,

this.zCoord).xPosition,

this.worldObj.getChunkFromBlockCoords(this.xCoord,

this.zCoord).zPosition);

to chunkload. Also, how would I make the chunk loading continue after server restart?

Take a look at the mod chickenchunks by chickenbones. You can find a public repository of it on bitbucket.

The code is for 1.6 but you can edit it to use it on 1.7.2.

 

If you have problems, I can post some working code.

I cannot seem find where it loads the chunks...

Your chunk loader is a class which implements IChunkLoader, right? And you can add it with ChunkLoaderManager.addChunkLoader.

Remove it with .remChunkLoader and update it with .updateChunkLoader.

The chunks are forced to be loaded in the TicketManager (in the ChunkLoaderManager) with the methods ForgeChunkManager.forceChunk and .unforceChunk. (ChunkLoaderManager lines 93-144)

Now it gives me this error:

What listeners do I need?

EDIT: Nvm, I just had to add ForgeChunkManager.setForcedChunkLoadingCallback(VoidMod.me, null); to my main class.

Thanks!

Hi Bedrock_Miner.

Your proposition is interesting me a lot. Could you make it working for 1.7.2 please? I'm not a programmer or a creative modder (just a mod modder and translator) but if there's some byte to modify, I think I can follow your instructions

 

Thanks you
