/forceload Command Generator

Beta

Type the corners of your farm or redstone build in block coordinates. The preview lights up every chunk it covers and counts them against the game's limit.

Block coordinates. 3 × 3 = 9 chunks (limit 256 per command).

Java keeps force-loaded chunks loaded and ticking (redstone, farms, mobs) with no player nearby.

9 / 256 chunks
1 square = 16 × 16 blocks
Keeps loaded 9 chunks (chunks 0, 0 to 2, 2).

How it works

Chunks are 16 × 16 block columns. Force-loaded chunks keep running (farms, redstone, mobs) when nobody is near. You type block coordinates; the generator works out which chunks they fall in.

Java 1.13.1 and later

forceload add 0 0 47 47
forceload remove 0 0
forceload remove all
forceload query 100 -20

One command loads at most 256 chunks. The chunks stay force-loaded after a restart until you remove them.

Bedrock: ticking areas

tickingarea add 0 0 0 47 0 47 spawn_farm
tickingarea remove spawn_farm
tickingarea remove_all
tickingarea list

A world holds at most 10 ticking areas, each up to 100 chunks. The y coordinate is ignored.

FAQ

How many chunks can I force load?

Java takes up to 256 chunks per /forceload command (you can run several). Bedrock allows 10 ticking areas of up to 100 chunks each.

Do force-loaded chunks grow crops and spawn mobs?

On Java, force-loaded chunks tick blocks and entities, but random ticks (crop growth) and mob spawning need a player within 128 blocks. Bedrock ticking areas tick blocks and entities.

Does /forceload work on Bedrock?

No — Bedrock uses /tickingarea instead. Switch the edition and the generator writes it.

How do I see which chunks are force-loaded?

Java: forceload query lists them (or checks one chunk with coordinates). Bedrock: tickingarea list.

Why does /forceload not exist in my 1.13 world?

It was added in Java 1.13.1. Update to 1.13.1 or later.
