Best Easy Chunk Loader Minecraft Java 1.21 - Block by Block Tutorial - Easy to Follow

[@snakay201]

Late comment but oh my lord was this video a savior. I was spending way too much time looking for a chunk loader on youtube but then I found your video and it was the only one that worked. Great tutorial, easy to follow, and I swear that this is the only video on youtube that shows a working chunk loader for the latest version of Minecraft. Thank you!

[@AndresTMJ]

Hi! Love this tutorial. Just a note that if it doesnt initially work then you may have to do the chunk loader on both sides of the portal, effectively doubling the cost. Also note evrytime you relog into the world, you must go back to it and double check that it works :)

[@Anthony-vu8bl]

If you are experiencing issues with items only being caught up one way, here's a fix: make sure both portals are facing in the same direction NS/EW = NS/EW. I lost one solid hour understanding that...

[@fatglob3518]

I recommend placing a chunk loader on both sides of the nether portal but for them to be alternating sides. So that if the nether portal doesn't catch the block which happened for me it'll now catch it and just drop it through the nether portal again.

[@peter9627]

do you mean by alternating mirrored?

[@Josh4mine]

thx so much, lol it just happened to me and i remembered ur comment :), great idea too, the way i see it, it should NEVER stop lol

Thanks i thank you so much i searched 10 min for a chunkloader but all didnt work for my 1.20.6 world ❤❤❤❤

[@mreli_]

If this isn't working for you in Java 1.20.1, try and put the whole contraption down by 1 block. That way, the item will actually land in the hopper and not beside it.

[@AliAhmad-ss4sp]

i try this but the the item is not going to hopper ....

It worked thanks!

[@المقدادالرفوع-ص6خ]

Thank you for your videos. All farms have worked great for me and have not failed anyone

[@tremu5639]

Sorry if this is dumb, I'm hella new to this stuff. I was under the assumption that both the portal in the overworld and the portal in the nether loaded chunks around it, giving us a total of 18 loaded chunks. But at 2:31 you mentioned to make sure the portal in the nether is in the same chunk.. So the loaded chunks in the nether isn't based off the portal? I'm a bit lost Q_Q How can i check if the portal in the nether is in the correct chunk for it to work? Other than that, really great video!!

[@KelpMC]

My bad, I should say the same amount of chunks in the nether. Of course is around the portal

[@tremu5639]

Ohh, so it was about adjusting the nether portal if the chunk i wanted to keep loaded in the nether wasn't close enough to the nether portal I take it. So if I wasn't worried about doing anything in the nether. That is, im only focused on keeping a chunk in the overworld loaded, then I don't need to worry about where the nether portal ends up being I think im starting to understandd. Thank you sooo much for the response. Definitely subbing

[@therealtrio7220]

I build this on a solo world and the item goes through the portal but doesn’t get sent back through unless I travel to the nether

[@Chris___J]

I've got a question, by the way it works perfectly in Java edition but won't the item despawn in five minutes? When the item despawns the loader will also stop loading right?

[@KelpMC]

No, because the item inside the hopper isn't an entity. When the item is dropped it is an entity. But when it goes inside the hopper and dropper it is a item and the despawn countdown is reset

[@raskzak3313]

Simple and efficient, what's more to ask ?

I just built this chunk loader above my sugarcane farm (I made sure sugarcane farm was built within the 3x3 area of the chunk loader) but the farm produces like 80% less items. It works, but not properly i think. Why is this?

[@shiveringtimber49]

In my current world, I've found a swamp with 3 witch huts in relatively close proximity to one another. My goal is to use these chunk loaders to keep all 3 working at the same time even when I'm not in their afk zones. So my question is, will this work the way I want it?

[@KelpMC]

No! Witches need you nearby to spawn. Specifically in a radius of 128 blocks

[@shiveringtimber49]

@@KelpMC so, as long as I'm within 128 blocks of each of them, they'll all work at the same time? And is that a vertical or a horizontal radius?

Hello kelp, ive noticed when i enter the nether the chunk loader stops working but it works when i just stay at the overworld. Also i have build a pumpkin/melon farm one chunk away from the chunk loader and the farm is super slow or doesnt even work at all. Any ideas how to fix it? Also i play on 1.20.6

[@KelpMC]

Make sure you aren't taking the item when you go to the nether. The me,on/pumpkin farm doesn't work with a chunk loader. Crop farms work with the Random Tick Speed mechanic. That mechanic needs a player around the crops.

[@GOAT10-mr]

Oh thats Why, does redstone contraptions still work with a chunk loader? Also the random tick mechanic, can it work in spawn chunks? Thanks btw keep up the good work!

[@byebyechicken1327]

The item can get stuck very rarely in the portal. Make the portal 3 wide and add another hopper, this will fix it. If you need to know more watch ilmangos video about almost the same chunk loader but not flawed.

[@tdarking2311]

you can also put the lever in the overworld?

2:38 What does it mean by that... Like do I need to go to those coordinates in the nether (divide by 8). Or like does it mean I cannot use the portal that generated in the nether. Someone explain?

It just means it can't be in two different chunks in the nether. Don't worry it took me a bit to understand too lol

does it work to unlimited height? because i build it next to my creeper farm down where the chests are and creepers arent spawning up in the mob trap pls help

Thanks again for your video, its working. I wanted to chain link them because the transportation system of my farm with the chunk loader is not within the 3x3 range of the first one. But when i am building the second portal its to close to the first one netherwise and its totally random which one i will travel to. Is there a possible solution to this problem?

Go into the Nether and build the 2nd portal where it should be. 1 block in the overworld is 8 block in the Nether.

I really need help, i built the Chunk loader on y(150). When i go to nether and return there's a new portal below y150, i mean in the dirt. Please answer

[@KelpMC]

If the portals are not correctly linked, you can link them manually. Divide the overworld coords (z and x) and build the portal in the result coords. Example: overworld coords x:80 z:160. Nether coords x:10 (80/8) z:20 (160/8)

This only works for me 1.21 Java, if I am in Overworld and I keep placing blocks into first dropper. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Chunk in Overworld is -2 , 2 but chunk in Nether is -1 , 0. If I go to -2, 2 in Nether, will it work better?

[@KelpMC]

To link nether portals take the x and z coords of the portal that is in the overworld, divide them by 8 and build another portal in the nether in the result coords. Y coord doesn't matter.

Is not that reliable. For me, playing on a Realm server, it consistently stop working every time after 10/15 minutes. I'm sure is working fine on survival (i haven't tested it though), but on servers is better building the Il Mango 1.19 chunk loader that is incredibly reliable. This one in fact is a compacted version of it.

[@ggplayz14]

Does the orientation of the portal matters? Cause i found a issue in this design, where the item spits in different side of the portal, and when i switched the collection system, it spit in the other side for another dimension (for example, i built it first, i tried it in the overworld and when i entered the nether, i noticed the item spit on the other side, so i rebuilt the system onto that side, then same thing happened to the overworld part.)

[@ggplayz14]

UPDATE: okayy i fixed it, the orientation needs to be the same. So when you built the portal in the overworld, make sure you check where it faces in f3 menu (eg. Facing north/south or east/west). Then build the portal the same way in the nether.
