    Okay so we have a chunk loader that works only when online. We have one that works when online and offline (for more tickets). Why don't we have one for offline only. Either as a different block or as a toggle in the gold block one. We can be online and load a chunk and then when offline that is when the chunk loader starts and tickets are used. It is useless for tickets to be wasted if we are loading the area ourselves even if it is cheaper for online.

    You can always break the gold block when you go online then place it down before you go offline though.

    Just apply a redone signal to turn it off.

    I have tier 5 so I can afk until I am kicked for restarts, by this point I am most likely asleep if I am not playing. And how can I make a redstone signal only work when I am online/offline. Currently the chunk loader will leave the chunk loaded at all times, thus keeping the redstone in the same state.

    pressure plate and lever, lever for when you are playing (on) and when you go afk stand on the pressure plate with the lever off. No crazy things needed :)

    Iron and gold are the same when online or offline. But it's 5x (I think) the normal cost for Gold ones when you are offline.

    Here is an easy breakdown for you and other;
    • When you are online:
      • Iron Chunk Loaders have a normal cost.
      • Gold Chunk Loaders have a normal cost.
    • When you are offline:
      • Iron Chunk Loaders do not work.
      • Gold Chunk Loaders cost 5 times the normal amount.
    Both types of chunk loaders can be disabled either;
    • The GUI (which you can access by right clicking the chunk loaded with an empty hand)
    • Or by applying a redstone signal to the chunk loader.


    Hope this helps.

    Depending on the modpack there are online detectors which emit a redstone signal which you can combine with the chunk loader.
