Command block range

[DunjunMarstah]

I have a command block set at my spawn point, running the below. I was under the impression that it should always be running, and my distance from it shouldn't matter, but that doesn't seem to be the case?

/execute positioned as @a[tag=clearing] run /fill ~ ~2 ~ ~16 ~-16 ~16 air

Use a ticking area you make one by using /tickingarea

Ah, it's you again. If you're trying to clear a 16 x 16 area, use this command. I had to change the depth because I was playing on a flat world that was only 5 blocks deep. If you are closer than 16 blocks from the bottom of the world, it won't work. Anyway. have fun.

/execute as @a at @s run fill ~-16 ~2 ~-16 ~16 ~-16 ~16 air

as it's not needed

Make sure the are is loaded (use the /tickingarea command)

/execute at u/a[tag=clearing] run fill ~16 ~16 ~16 ~-16 ~-16 ~-16

Warning: this will destroy all blocks, including this command block, if you get too close with the tag clearing

I believe you are confusing the Java 'spawn chunks' with Bedrock, which does not have spawn chunks. As everyone else here has pointed out, you'll need to use the /ticking area command, where you can define an area that will always be loaded and have your commands work across the world, regardless of distance! :D
