Keep A Chunk loaded

How i can keep a chunk loaded? So can manage entities and everything like spawnchunks?
I tried location.getChunk().load(); but i throw items, get away but they doesnt despawn!

Possibly try this, I have not tested it.

Code:java

    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
    public void onChunkUnloadE(ChunkUnloadEvent event){
        if(event.getChunk().getX()==0 && event.getChunk().getZ() ==0)
                event.setCancelled(true);
 
    }
 

 

masshuu Doesnt seems to be working

 

I just tested it and it appears to work for me. I set it to 99 for x and y and setup a command block which broadcasts a message every few seconds, still broadcasting when i leave. Stops if i change the x/y

 

I tested it with blocks despawning. And still there.

 

What is your current code

 

Code:java

    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
          public static void unLoad(ChunkUnloadEvent e){
              Location location = new Location(e.getChunk().getWorld(), 2000, 1, 2000);
            if(e.getChunk().getX()==2000 && e.getChunk().getZ() ==2000){
              e.setCancelled(true);
 
          }
 
          }

 

Try new Location(e.getChunk().getWorld(), 32000, 1, 32000);

 

I would also check F3 window to be sure what chunk you are in. I originally setup as 100 but whenever I checked F3 I realized I had moved into chunks 99,99

 

masshuu

Code:java

    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
          public static void unLoad(ChunkUnloadEvent e){
              Location location = new Location(e.getChunk().getWorld(), 2000, 1, 2000);
            if(e.getChunk().getX()==2000 && e.getChunk().getZ() ==2000){
              e.setCancelled(true);
 
          }
 
          }

masshuu pfff doesnt works

Pay attention to what Cirno said. Chunk co-ordinates and block co-ordinates are not the same thing; e.g. block (2000,1,2000) is in chunk (125,125) - a chunk's X/Z co-ordinates are the block's X/Z co-ordinates divided by 16 (and rounded down).

 

I'm not sure if it works but what if you do getWorld().refreshChunk(x, z); on the chunk axises on the ChunkUnloadEvent? maybe I'm wrong and its to resource active though but anyways I also thought it automatic already loads whenever you call getChunk(); again not sure.

but the question is why would you prevent chunks from unloading?

 

desht I tried with chunks coords, but the items didn't despawn

bum

Just noticed that you declared your event handler static. No wonder it's not working

Event handlers can't be static methods.

 

desht doesnt works. Even if i remove the static
