How to load a single chunk from another dimension?

[McJty]

Is there a way to load a single chunk from another dimension? Possibly even when the dimension itself is not loaded (no player is there)?

 

I have sucessfully created my custom dimensions and I can teleport in and out of them without problems. However some of my devices need to do world.getTileEntity() in locations in that other dimension (even when nobody is in it). And it currently crashes because DimensionManager.getProvider(dim) crashes with a null pointer exception (world isn't there).

 

So how can I get around this?

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

You might try this code from Entity.travelToDimension()

 

            MinecraftServer minecraftserver = MinecraftServer.getServer();
            WorldServer worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(targetDimension);

Couldn't you also use DimensionManager.getWorld(targetDimension) or would that not load the dimension up?

Nope, getWorld() doesn't load the dimension. But minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension() does so I'm using that now.

 

Thanks.
