Forceloaded Chunks
For each of the three dimensions in Minecraft, Lantern forceloads the chunk at
-30000000 0 8880. The following table gives a brief overview of the blocks in
this chunk:
| Position | Block | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
-30000000 0 8880 | Lectern | Arbitrary data storage |
-30000000 0 8881 | Sign | Text component resolution |
-30000000 0 8882 | Shulker Box | General item manipulation |
-30000000 0 8883 | Shulker Box | Single item manipulation |
-30000000 0 8884 | Dropper | Advanced loot table usage |
Additionally, an armor stand with a UUID of cb-0-0-0-1 is placed in the
Overworld's chunk.
All positions in these chunks with a Y of 0 or 1 are reserved by Lantern for future use. Other data packs may freely use positions with greater Y values, but there is no guarantee that blocks placed in those positions will persist for any period.
The next five pages will expand upon the roles of each of the forceloaded utilities listed above.
