I've been keeping my eye on this mod for a long time as a last resort for my modpack, as the configuration options are quite minimal for the chunk loader. I really love this mod and all the different rails that offer so much more than just simple tiered rails with slightly faster speeds.
That being said; The only thing that I believe needs any significant improvement is not the chunk loader itself but just being able to customize how the chunk loader works. I have several things I would love to see as options or at least something in the config that would allow more customization for it:
The ability to change how much time each item can increase the chunk loader
The ability to change what items are available to add time to the chunk loader
you could do it however you like, but example {["minecraft:emerald":10,"minecraft:nether_quartz":30, ETC]} This would actually make it super easy to just add and remove whatever we wanted to use as chunk loading "fuel items"
Designate what, or if, items get dropped when the chunk loader breaks
The ability to adapt the time requirements to the amount of chunks loaded (if 1 chunk, its only one minute BUT if 3x3 chunks would be 9x minutes)
The ability to choose if you want online or offline (or both) chunk loading only
Lastly, I think you should separate out the chunk loader block into its own mod, people would go nuts for a proper chunk loader that can do all this and actually does "fuel into time" system right, like the one you made
Please let me know whats possible and whats not, I would be happy to explain anything that isn't clear
