Is there a way to keep a minecraft chunk without using a portal and commands?

I play on a Minecraft server and I have made a creeper farm some of it is in the overworld and some in the nether using a nether portal. Is there a way to keep this chunk loaded without me in it and without portals?


Solution 1:

Try /forceload. It keeps chunks loaded without any player in it. Here's the command:

forceload add x z

Where x is your x coordinate and z is your z coordinate.
