There are answers for disabling ipv6 is it possible to force ipv6 instead?

already using https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ to select ipv6-capable mirrors

I'm having a hard time finding anything relating to it in pacman source, but it looks like the only option is the 'scorched earth' method of forcing ipv6 on the whole machine rather than just pacman only.

There's also the mirrorlist generator -- https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

You could always just generate only ipv6 mirror list.
