gollark: Also, there are no solutions for "using the items already in the game" for chunkloading.
gollark: Because furnaces are actually an interesting feature.
gollark: Cleverness? How is there cleverness in using resources to make a chunkloader...?
gollark: If we had infinite processing power on all servers, I expect that chunkloading wouldn't exist. Unfortunately we don't so it does, and it seems stupid to spend resources on things to get around, well, unintended features.
gollark: Sure, I don't see why not.
