Liquid Rendering Mod?

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if there was a mod allowing for liquids to render even if you aren't nearby. As you might have witnessed, liquids are only rendered if they are within a certain distance from the player.

    I have plans to make a liquid powered "reactor" that takes in fuel and slowly expels lava. Once the lava has been depleted, anything the reactor was powering will shut down. However, if I'm halfway across the planet working on something, the reactor won't be rendered, and will continue to remain unrendered until I return.

    This problem could be fixed by either:
    1) A mod that removed the limitation on liquid rendering entirely (not smart)
    2) A mod that allows for the user to specify regions in which to always render liquids (more efficient)

    I've looked around a lot, but haven't seen anything. Anyone know of any mods I may have missed, or different solutions? Thanks in advance for any help!

    What you need is a chunk-loader.
