Oct 27, 2015 at 13:05 comment added Prof. Farnsworth @Skylinerw Well, I used this concept from here youtube.com/watch?v=dkxRvYKwNZU . But then I am still confused. If the golems, and obviously the chicken as well, do receive an update tick as entities, why don't the minecarts and the villager in the farm receive one? (everything is inside the spawn chunk area)
Oct 27, 2015 at 10:12 comment added Skylinerw @Prof.Farnsworth The spawn chunks don't truly "unload" when no players are online. What happens is entities and tile entities will no longer be sent an update tick, but everything beyond that will still work. Villages will still spawn iron golem farms, for example, but those iron golems will not move due to not receiving an update tick. If you have a chunk loader in place that is capable of loading enough chunks to tick entities, that would explain why that works.
Oct 26, 2015 at 14:33 comment added Prof. Farnsworth yes, this is what I thought, however the fact that the iron farm keeps on working even when I know for sure that no one was online for at least a few days is speaking somewhat against that... the same goes for the automatic chicken farm, which also keeps producing when no one is online. There has to be more to that story.
