Good to know

  • Used to keep distant farms running, but it strains the server, so keep the number low.
  • Defined separately for each dimension.

How do I run this command?

Press T in game to open chat (or press / directly), type the command and press Enter. While typing, Tab completes the options. This command counts as a cheat: It needs cheats enabled in a singleplayer world, and operator permission on a server (operator (level 2)).
