# Minecarts Load Chunks Mod<\/p>\n
A **Fabric mod** that prevents minecarts from getting stuck at unloaded chunk borders by automatically loading chunks as the minecarts travel. It works with **all minecart types**: regular, chest, furnace, and hopper carts, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted transportation across your Minecraft world.<\/p>\n
## Features
\n– **Automatic Chunk Loading:** Loads a **3×3 grid** of chunks around any moving minecart to prevent chunk border issues.
\n– **Supports All Minecart Types:** Works with **regular minecarts**, **chest minecarts**, **furnace minecarts**, and **hopper minecarts**.
\n– **Tick-Based Expiry:** Chunks remain loaded for **30 seconds (600 ticks)** after the minecart leaves. This can be changed in the configuration file.
\n– **Persistent Chunk Data:** Loaded chunks are saved on a **per-world basis** and restored when the server restarts, preventing stranded minecarts even through server reboots.<\/p>\n
## How It Works
\n– The mod scans for **all minecarts** (regular, chest, furnace, and hopper carts) every server tick.
\n– When a minecart is detected with **nonzero velocity**, it records the tick and forces a **3×3 grid** of chunks around the minecart\u2019s position to be loaded.
\n– The chunks remain loaded for **30 seconds (600 ticks)**.
\n– **Persistent storage:** The chunk data is saved to **each world\u2019s save directory** and restored when the world is reloaded, preventing stranded minecarts.<\/p>\n
## Configuration
\nThe mod uses a JSON configuration file (`config\/minecartsloadchunks.json`) to allow you to customize its behavior. You can modify the settings to suit your needs. Here\u2019s what each configuration option does:<\/p>\n
### General Settings<\/p>\n
– **`loadChunks`** – Enables or disables the mod entirely. Set this to `false` to disable the mod without removing it. (**Default:** `true`)<\/p>\n
– **`spamConsole`** – Enables detailed logging in the console every second for debugging purposes. (**Default:** `false`)<\/p>\n
### Chunk Loading Durations<\/p>\n
– **`cartLoadDuration`** – Specifies how long (in seconds) each chunk remains loaded after a minecart passes through. (**Default:** `30`)<\/p>\n
– **`movementDuration`** – Defines how long (in seconds) a chunk stays loaded after a minecart stops moving. (**Default:** `10`)<\/p>\n
### Minecart Type Settings<\/p>\n
These settings determine which minecart types can load chunks. Set to `true` to enable chunk loading for specific minecart types:<\/p>\n
– **`loadMinecarts`** \u2013 Standard minecarts (**Default:** `true`)
\n– **`loadFurnaceMinecarts`** \u2013 Furnace minecarts (**Default:** `true`)
\n– **`loadChestMinecarts`** \u2013 Chest minecarts (**Default:** `true`)
\n– **`loadHopperMinecarts`** \u2013 Hopper minecarts (**Default:** `true`)
\n– **`loadTntMinecarts`** \u2013 TNT minecarts (**Default:** `false`)
\n– **`loadCommandBlockMinecarts`** \u2013 Command block minecarts (**Default:** `false`, disabled to prevent unintended behavior)<\/p>\n
