[MC-136320] 5*5hopper chunk loader no longer create a entity processing chunk in nether and the end,when no players in these DIMs.

[media]

I built a nether portal in spawn area, a droper drops item in the portal to keep spawn area loaded. And set a command block speaks "0".

[media]

Then I loaded 5*5 chunks in nether by using hopper.

[media]

I the center one of these chunks , I set two command blocks, one is powered by a minecart speaking "4", it's used to check whether the center chunk is entity loadable. Another one is powered by a comparator speaking "1", which is checking the carpets from over world.

[media]

Finally I found that the command blocks in nether didn't work.

which means 5*5 hopper loader can't load chunks a entity processing chunk.

It will broke such as iron farms and concrete farms, blablabla.

I hope it is a bug or I made some mistakes in preamble.

Seems hopper and nether portal can only load chunks for one tick?

Why not use the command /forceload?

Harvey Kang 2018-08-22T19:21:39Z

because we have to load chunks in survival mode

The same issue also applies to chunks loaded with /forceload.
It seems that in the snapshots only chunks which are loaded by the player or the spawn chunks process entities.

Also see MC-136351

Merged into MC-147818.

No, I'm pretty sure MC-147818 is new in 1.14.4. The bot just added a wrong version to that because of this wrong duplicate and I can't even remove it again, even though it's the same report.

You didn't seem too sure about that according to your own report. Nevertheless, I don't see a point in tracking this separately, it's essentially the same core issue: Only players can load chunks, nothing else.

FaRo1 2020-05-18T15:58:59Z

I just tested it again, my report definitely not in 1.13.1 and therefore this one is not a duplicate.

FaRo1 2020-05-18T16:32:09Z

I didn't even notice that "1.13 or" was still in there. I definitely know now that it's new in 1.14. And no, non-player events could definitely load chunks in 1.13.

This issue is at the very least blocked by MC-147818.
For me it's hard to say what actually changed between the versions and so far I thought the only major change to chunk loading was making it based completely on players, but I also don't exactly remember all the changes of 1.13.
Imo it is fine to leave it resolved, as fixing MC-147818 will likely either fix this or make it WAI.
