Description

Probably just like 1 in every direction (so 9 loaded).

Currently they're only loaded on the chunk packer thread when a chunk is loaded that is in an unloaded cache region.

This kind of defeats the purpose of the cached renderer if it only renders loaded regions, and regions are only loaded if the server tells us about a chunk that's inside them.

Not really an issue unless you're standing near a border tho (coords divisible by 512), but still

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current cached region loading mechanism in Baritone (likely in the `CachedRegion` or `ChunkPacker` classes) and implement a strategy to keep a 3x3 grid of regions loaded around the player, not just when a chunk is packed.
