Any way to keep chunks loaded in SSP?

Why stupidly? Is there any benefit to keeping everything as-is?

No, it was just really dangerous. If a single jungle spider walked in on me while I was in that temple I would have been toast. Same for the witches. It's not a very smart risk to take (but it is fun).

Just to step in here, recently on our server we travelled in the overworld and found wheat, the whole trip there and back took us around 3 hours. We kept travelling during the night (as we were kitted out with iron armour and smack dab in the mid-game). We all enjoy finding our crops using the overworld, we just prefer it I suppose. But yeah, 3 hour round trip, around 5 in game days, albeit sprinting some of the way.
