+Subject: [PATCH] Don't load Chunks from Hoppers and other things
+
+Hoppers call this to I guess "get the primary side" of a double sided chest.
+
+If the double sided chest crosses chunk lines, it causes the chunk to load.
+This will end up causing sync chunk loads, which will unload with Chunk GC,
+only to be reloaded again the next tick.
+
+This of course is undesirable, so just return the loaded side as "primary"
+and treat it as a single chest if the other sides are unloaded
