Q: Is this mod client-side or server-side?
A: This mod works on logical server side. That is, it has effect in singleplayer and on a dedicated (standalone) server. It has no effect on the client when playing in multiplayer. You can install it into your client or your server without any requirements for it to be installed on the other side.

Q: How to force-load chunks for ticking if spawn chunks have been removed?
A: If you really need ticking chunks, load individual chunks with the /forceload vanilla command in 1.13 or newer. For older versions, you can search for some mod that force-loads chunks.

A: Report it here. If you are not sure if this is a bug, you can join the Discord.

A: Sure. Credit (e.g. a link to mod's GitHub page) is appreciated, but is not required. Monetization and redistributing is allowed as per the MIT License.

Q: It says Ksyxis: No Mixin found.
A: If you're using ancient Forge (1.15.2 or older), you may need to install MixinBootstrap, MixinBooter, UniMixins OR any other at your choice. If you're using Forge 1.16 or newer, any Fabric, any Quilt, or any NeoForge, you don't need to install anything and this is a bug.
