Forceload Command
Examples
How to Enter the Command
1. Open the Chat Window
The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.
2. Type the Command
In this example, we will mark the chunk at the current coordinate to force load (ie: constantly load) with the following command:
/forceload add ~ ~
Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.
Once the cheat has been entered, the chunks at the current location will be forced to constantly load.
You will see the message "Marked chunk [-83,3] in minecraft:overworld to be force loaded" appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Now the chunk at the xz coordinate of [-83,3] will be set to force load which which cause the chunk to be constantly loaded.
Congratulations, you just learned how to use the /forceload command in Minecraft!
