Make distant chunks work

Even if I develop a village in some places, they won't "live" unless I go there.
It significantly reduces the joy of building in survival mode.

Also, frequently changing the chunk simulation size because you are worried about the trap behavior is not a comfortable way to play.

It would be more interesting if there was an item that "chunks around the item will work even if the player is away".

I understand that there are limits to this, of course.
