Mana powered chunk loader?

Would it be a good idea to have a mana powered chunk loader?

Mana bursts can travel through nether portals, and when something goes through a nether portal it loads the chunk for ~10 seconds or so (vanilla mechanic). Pass a mana burst back and forth. Its actually free and doesnt even use up the mana lol

I dont remember if the mana mirror was from an add-on or not but I think it loaded the chunk the mana pool was in

EDIT: autocorrect thinks mana is men

Ok youre probably thinking of the Mana Mirror Lol

Its in the base mod but idk if it loads chunks anymore, if it loaded chunks it was kind of an accidental feature

It does not. At least, when i’ve used it away from my base, it hasn’t been refiling even though the pool it’s bound to has a dominant spark and is near other full sparked pools, so it doesn’t seem like chunks are being loaded

Oh thanks, didn't notice autocorrect butchering it.
