Can someone explain how/when chunk unloading occurs?

I'd like to understand more about how chunk unloading occurs.  Take for example some custom mobs that are moving around under new AI I wrote.    I have them set to never despawn.  But I am assuming they will *pause* their movement when the chunk unloads and resume when the chunk comes back.  Can someone explain how that works?  

 

Thanks.

Yes, they "pause" because the chunk they are in ceases to exist (and thus, so do they). All* data is serialized and when the chunk loads again that data is deserialized and everything ends up in the same state that it was left in.*

 

*Note: Not literally all data is serialized, eg. pathing information is not and is instead recomputed when needed again.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Ok, good to know that it reads/writes to file.  Do you know when a chunk unloads?

If it is not being manually kept loaded, ie spawn chunks or chunk loader. Then once they are a distance away from the player they unload, in singleplayer it is the render distance (I believe) in multiplayer it's a "render distance" that is specified in the server.properties file.

OK, yeah, read on the wiki, it says render distance.  So chunk loaders, I see a ChunkLoader class in the minecraft code.  Do we use that to keep chunks loaded or does Forge have some other way?

 

Thanks.

I believe it’s the “render distance” + 2, I could be wrong as I can’t remember where I got this information from though

I believe there is a class called ForgeChunkLoader or ForgeChunkManager? That allows you to do something with them. I'm not really sure.

      HOW TO RECOVER STOLEN BITCOIN/ BYTEPHANTOM CYBER RECOVERY WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS

      By Benardfred7879 · Posted

      I received an unexpected email claiming that a long-lost relative had left me a substantial inheritance $140,000 in cryptocurrency At first I was skeptical The message came with a lot of convincing documents legal jargon and even a supposed lawyer’s contact information They insisted everything was legitimate and the funds were waiting to be transferred All I needed to do they said was cover a few minor processing and transfer fees It seemed like a small price to pay for such a large windfall Against my better judgment I paid the fees Then more fees followed They kept assuring me the payout was right around the corner Weeks went by and the excuses kept coming Eventually it became clear this was a sophisticated scam The $140K inheritance was never real and I had been tricked into sending thousands of dollars to fraudsters embarrassed I started researching online and came across Byte phantom cyber services I was hesitant at first after all I had just been scammed But their website had positive reviews and they specialized in cryptocurrency fraud I reached out not expecting much To my surprise they responded quickly and professionally They were incredibly understanding and didn't make me feel foolish Their team walked me through the process step by step They used digital forensics and blockchain tracing techniques to track down the wallet addresses involved in the scam Within weeks they identified the fraudsters and began recovery efforts To my amazement Byte phantom cyber services recovered 100% of my lost funds Every cent I honestly couldn’t believe it They taught me how to recognize red flags avoid similar traps in the future and protect my digital identity I now feel empowered and informed not just lucky If you've been scammed or even suspect it don't stay silent Reach out to Byte phantom cyber services I got my money back

      Issue trying to run my mod when I have Oculus as a dependancy

      By timy_g · Posted

      So, First of I am new to modding so bare with me I am creating a 1.20.1 forge mod that needs Oculus/Embeddium as a dependancy because later on I need to add custom shaders in for lights and such. I am using ParchmentMC as I've heard its better because of namings of things but that doesn't seem to like it when I run it alongside Oculus (Its a very barebones script adding two blocks and an item, and tested it before I did this) The 4 errors I get when I run 'runClient' is Caused by: org.spongepowered.asm.mixin.transformer.throwables.MixinTransformerError: An unexpected critical error was encountered Caused by: org.spongepowered.asm.mixin.throwables.MixinApplyError: Mixin [mixins.oculus.json:texture.MixinAbstractTexture] from phase [DEFAULT] in config [mixins.oculus.json] FAILED during APPLY Caused by: org.spongepowered.asm.mixin.injection.throwables.InvalidInjectionException: Critical injection failure: @Inject annotation on iris$afterGenerateId could not find any targets matching 'Lnet/minecraft/client/renderer/texture/AbstractTexture;m_117963_()I' in net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.AbstractTexture. Using refmap oculus-mixins-refmap.json [PREINJECT Applicator Phase -> mixins.oculus.json:texture.MixinAbstractTexture -> Prepare Injections ->  -> handler$zgm000$iris$afterGenerateId(Lorg/spongepowered/asm/mixin/injection/callback/CallbackInfoReturnable;)V -> Parse] And then a "Execution failed for task ':runClient'." error My dependancies are just these with latest forge for 1.20.1 implementation fg.deobf('curse.maven:oculus-581495:6020952') // Oculus for 1.20.1 - 1.8.0  implementation fg.deobf('curse.maven:embeddium-908741:5681725') // Embeddium for 1.20.1 - 0.3.31 I have tested these mods & forge in a different modpack alone and it works fine Any help is much appreciated!
