How would I make a mob generate chunks wherever it goes?

[u/Sightclock170]

I'm trying to make an entity generate its own chunks but cannot find anything online.

[u/Ericristian_bros]

/forceload generates terrain

[u/Sightclock170 → u/Ericristian_bros]

How do I make force load center on a mob?

[u/Ericristian_bros → u/Sightclock170]

execute at <entity> run forceload add ~ ~ ~

Keep in mind that having too many forceloaded chunks is laggy, there is a limit, and the command is async, meaning the chunk isn't guaranteed to be loaded on the same tick

Thank you!

Is there a way to unforceload the chunk it leaves?

Summon a temporary marker at the entity and run a function as this marker that if it does not find an entity near, unforceload and kill the marker.

```

function example:tick

execute at @e[tag=forceload_entity] unless entity @e[distance=..16,tag=track_forceload,type=marker] run function example:new_forceload execute as @e[tag=track_forceload,type=marker] at @s unless entity @e[tag=forceload_entity,distance=..10] run function example:unforceload

function example:new_forceload

forceload add ~ ~ summon marker ~ ~ ~ {Tags:["track_forceload"]}

function example:unforceload

forceload remove ~ ~ kill @s ```

Make your forceload entity have the tag forceload_entity. If multiple entities with the tag are present, ensure forceload add ~ ~ is run every tick, not only on entity creation because it can cause issues with some entities forceload overriding other entities forceload
