A lightweight Paper plugin that keeps selected chunks permanently loaded and fully ticking, so your farms keep running when nobody is online. Mobs spawn, Redstone fires, villagers work.
- Full entity ticking: mobs spawn, villager AI runs, Redstone executes, crops grow
- Works with zero players online, so iron golem, creeper and hoglin farms run 24/7
- Multi-world support for Overworld, Nether, End and custom worlds
- Radius selection to register one chunk or a whole NxN area in a single command
- Chunk list is stored in
config.ymland survives restarts - Global toggle that pauses all tickets without clearing your list
- Per-subcommand permissions, compatible with LuckPerms
| Server | Paper 1.21 to 1.21.x (Purpur and Pufferfish also work) |

Paper exposes two persistent chunk-ticket APIs at entity-ticking level (Level 31): addPluginChunkTicket() and setChunkForceLoaded(). With ticket-mode: both, ChunkTicker applies both to every registered chunk.
Level 31 is the same load level Minecraft uses for chunks inside a player's view distance. Entities tick, mobs spawn through the normal spawning cycle, and Redstone runs exactly as if a player were standing nearby.
