Booze barrels & Chunk unloading

[Aerik]

Hey all,

I recently got started brewing beers on my SMP server, and I was wondering if anyone knows if chunk unloading stops the fermenting process in booze barrels, since this would make properly timing your brews a real challenge. Anyone have any ideas on whether or not this is the case, and if so, how to time this?

Thanks a lot in advance!

You could simply put down a Teleport Tether or a World Anchor.

[Aerik]

Yes, I'm aware of that, however these tend to lag a server in larger numbers, so I'm first trying to find out if it is actually necessary.

[Ragnar Homsar]

Yeah, then, booze barrels will stop when the chunk they're In is unloaded.

how do i use the booze barrels?
