Hey everyone,

I am trying to let a chunk stay loaded for crop growth and other farms.

I created a plugin which checks for a Sign with a specific text on it. Everything works fine and I can setForceLoaded of the chunk to true. The game recognizes it with the /forceload command. But if I am offline (0 Players online) nothing grows.

Is this just to stay active while a minimum of 1 player is online?

Best regards

Force loading a chunk on its own does not grow crops. Growing crops relies on random ticks which only happens when there is a player nearby regardless of the chunk being loaded or not.

oh, my bad. I didn't think about the random ticks needed.. That would explain why my dropper got cleared out and the other things "didn't work".

Thanks for your fast answer :)
