Chunkload component

Make your machine act as a chunkloader

The chunkload component can be used to make the machine always load an area around it.

The chunkloaded area will be a square of chunks, centered around the chunk that contains the machine block.

The radius of the chunkload area is limited to 32 chunks max (which means a square of 63 chunks on each sides, or 3969 loaded chunks).

The chunks will be loaded as long as the machine block is placed, when removed the chunks will be unloaded (unless something else load them).

You can also make the machine chunkload an area only if a recipe is processing.

See Chunkload requirement.

Chunkload component is defined with "type": "custommachinery:chunkload" in the json.
