MC 1.9: Chunk Loader for Redstone Circuits?
I have developed an automatic train system using minecarts and redstone circuits to let the minecarts travel between stations. It worked so far for lines in the near environment. But I noticed that it fails for longer distances, because the chunks are not loaded - therefore the minecart will stop and never come back, until the chunks were loaded by a passing player.
I am using a 1.9 Vanilla server, and I have full access to the server.
The Chunks don't need to be loaded when no player is on the server. But if there are players, the chunks containing the stations and the line should always be loaded when players are online.
How can I achieve this?
I am willing to install server mods, if necessary, but I only found a mod for MC 1.7. For some tutorials, I am confused about "Lazy Load chunks" and "entity chunks", and I do not know which type I need for my scenario. I also read that it might be possible using command block chains, but I do not know exactly how this works (and if it actually works for this scenario).
I do not understand why you think it is a duplicate. Once again, if the end station is set to a spawn point, then the whole track in the middle (the powered rail) won't work. So the linked question doesn't fit the problem situation.

press f3 and A at the same time, it will recode all chunks.if this does not work press fn, then press f3 and a at the same time.

How do you make a Redstone chunk loader?
When a player logs out or travels to another dimension, all loaded chunks will keep being loaded for 60 seconds prior to 1.9 or 10 seconds in 1.9 and above. Then, all chunks, including redstone, entities, and game mechanics will stop working until a player logs back on.Does Redstone keep a chunk loaded?
The chunk loader is very useful. It keeps chunks of the world loaded even when a player is far enough away that the chunk should unload. This will allow crops to grow, machines to work, and other things to function (even across dimensions).What can chunk loaders be used for?
Use a Nether Portal. One of the most efficient ways to maintain chunks constantly loading in Minecraft is using a Nether portal. In this case, you'll have to make sure any object is moving through the portal. But beware, there are timings when an object passes through a portal.Minecraft 1.18 Chunk Loader (Self Fixing) Tutorial
