When you are making your redstone suggestions, please note that Java and Bedrock will not have the exact same the same redstone systems - this would require redoing redstone system completely on one platform or the other. The two systems are functionally different and are going to stay that way. Please be sure to tag your suggestions with (Java) or (Bedrock).

"Loadstone" Lodestone Chunkloading

The idea with this suggestion is that the Lodestone should load chunks as if the player was in the chunk or like the spawn chunks which already exist in the vanilla game.

  • The Lodestone could work through loading the chunk that the lodestone is in.
  • The Lodestone could be activated/deactivated with a redstone signal.
  • The Lodestone could work like the chunk loader in the chicken chunks mod.
  • The Lodestone sounds like "Loadstone" which would be a great opportunity for a pun.

    This could be a thing, but I feel like it would require a setting to be activated in order for it to be allowed on servers (being disabled by default). You wouldn't want this to exist on really large servers because this can bog them down greatly.

     

    By itself, great idea in concept, I just think it could end badly if this was the default functionality. I prefer to just use them to navigate the world easier and not get lost.

    In my opinion a way to force load chunks is good but(at least by default) it should only be for admins to use, like command blocks.

    I think this is a great idea, and it would be really cool to see it added, although this should be a gameplay setting that you could activate on the gameplay setting, to prevent connection issues and lag.
