Reloading Chunks in the Java Edition is very easy. You can hold down the F3 key and press A on your keyboard. The chunks will reload right away as the button combination forces Minecraft to reload all the previously loaded chunks again. The process is very helpful if your chunks are glitching in a server. If reloading chunks does not fix your glitch, exit the world and rejoin it. Doing so will load the chunks again and hopefully remove the glitch. It is best to remember that the process mentioned above is Java exclusive. There is no shortcut or command to reload the chunks in Minecraft. So, the best approach is to leave the game or the server you are in and re-enter. You can also restart the game if exiting and entering the world or the server does not work.
How to Keep a Chunk Loaded In Minecraft?
The easiest way to keep a chunk loaded is by continuously dropping items and entities in that chunk using a Nether Portal, Dispensers, and Redstone circuit. However, things can be quite complicated while doing so. Another way you can keep one or more chunks loaded is by making a circuit that starts in your spawn chunk. But the major drawback is that the chunk you want to keep loaded may be quite far from the spawn chunk. Hence, all the chunks on the way also have to stay loaded.
Can I reset Chunks in Minecraft?
There is no way to reset your chunks in Minecraft directly. However, you can do so by installing third-party applications. Also, please keep in mind that resetting your chunks means deleting everything you have done in the world. Your world will reset to the way it was first generated. You can backup your world beforehand so that you do not lose any progress in case something unexpected happens while resetting.
Why Are My Chunks Loading Slowly?
If you have a maximum chunk rendering distance (16 chunks, more if you are using OptiFine), then you can see your chunks loading very slowly. They may not even load at all in some cases. It mainly occurs because you are trying to load maximum chunks simultaneously. You can easily avoid such circumstances by lowering your chunk render distance in the settings. If you believe you have a minimum render distance, try giving Minecraft more RAM access by using the Minecraft Launcher. You can do so by using the Edit option for the game version and changing the JVM argument Xmx2G (default for 2 GB RAM usage) to Xmx4G. Changing the 2G in the argument to 4G lets Minecraft use 4 gigabytes of RAM instead of 2 from your PC. However, if you are still facing lags while loading chunks, try force reloading the chunks by pressing F3 + A. Restarting the world also reloads the chunks in your game.
