  Dynamical generation of strong and scalable quantum resources, like many-body
entanglement and Bell correlations, in spin-$1/2$ chains, is possible with
all-to-all interactions, either for constant interaction strength realizing
one-axis twisting protocol or for power-law decaying potentials. We show,
however, that such quantum resources can also be dynamically generated with a
finite range of interactions. We identify a necessary critical range and
indicate a critical time when scalable quantum correlations appear. Finally, we
show that the certification of generated states is accessible in the modern
quantum simulator platforms.
