Force chunks to load constantly or not, forceload add
, forceload query
and forceload remove
are three separated commands.
Syntax[]
forceload add <from> [<to>]
- Forces the chunk at the
<from>
position (through to<to>
if set) in the dimension of the command's execution to be loaded constantly.
forceload remove <from> [<to>]
- Unforces the chunk at the
<from>
position (through to<to>
if set) in the dimension of the command's execution to be loaded constantly.
forceload remove all
- Unforces all chunks in the dimension of the command's execution to be loaded constantly.
forceload query [<pos>]
- If chunk coordinates are given, displays the specified chunk in the dimension of the command's execution is force loaded; otherwise, lists which chunks in the dimension of the command's execution are force loaded.
Arguments[]
<from>
: column_pos and <to>
: column_pos
- Specifies the targeted chunks.
- Must be a column coordinates composed of <x> and <z>, each of which must be an integer or tilde notation.
<pos>
: column_pos
- Specifies a chunk to query.
- Must be a column coordinates composed of <x> and <z>, each of which must be an integer or tilde notation.
Result[]
Command | Trigger | Java Edition |
---|---|---|
any | the arguments are not specified correctly | Unparseable |
/forceload add ... | more than 256 chunks are specified | Failed |
there's a specified chunk that is out of the world | ||
/forceload add ... | all specified chunks have already been forced to be loaded | |
/forceload remove <from> [<to>] | none of specified chunks have been forced to be loaded | |
/forceload query <pos> | the specified chunk hasn't been forced to be loaded | |
any | On success | Forces/unforces chunks to load constantly Or list/query the forceloaded chunk(s). |
Output[]
Command | Edition | Situation | Success Count | /execute store success ... | /execute store result ... |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
any | Java Edition | On fail | 0 | 0 | 0 |
/forceload add ... | On success | 1 | 1 | the number of forceloaded chunks that is newly added. | |
/forceload remove <from> [<to>] | On success | 1 | 1 | the number of forceloaded chunks that is successfully removed. | |
/forceload remove all | On success | 1 | 1 | 0 | |
/forceload query | On success | 1 | 1 | The number of forceloaded chunks in the current dimension. | |
/forceload query <pos> | On success | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Note[]
- Forced chunks get load ticket with load level of 31, the same as ticket chunks get by being in player's chunk loading distance, which means that the said chunk processes all aspects of the game while adjacent chunks get activated by the load level's spread but since it increases its load level each time, adjacent chunks don't process every aspect of the game as well. See also chunk.
- Crops do not grow in forceloaded chunks unless a player is nearby. Crop growing (without the use of bonemeal) depends on chunk ticks.
- Coordinates are actually block coordinates. In order to forceload chunks 0,0 to 1,2, the player should use
/forceload add 0 0 31 47
, which loads chunks 0,0 to 1,2 (1,2 inclusive, 2×3 chunks). - When using
/forceload add 0 0 10 30
chunks 0,0 to 0,1 are actually loaded (one chunk equals 16×16 blocks on x/z axis). However,/forceload query
gives result in chunk coordinates.
History[]
Java Edition | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1.13.1 | 18w31a | Added /chunk . | |||
pre1 | Renamed /chunk to /forceload . | ||||
1.14.4 | pre4 | /forceload is now available up to permission level 2. | |||
1.17 | Chunks are now loaded asynchronously, so chunks selected by /forceload are no longer guaranteed to be loaded on the same tick that the command is run. |
