    Regarding low TPS issues:

    The current lag is being caused by huge farms using thousands of pistons running constantly on a clock/observers.

    We're considering blocking all redstone clocks, what do people think about this?

    I am thinking that will make it much better and it will be a better experience for the players.

    clocks could easily be removed

    only problem i see is with cobble generators

    but this is 1.16, if you're using a clock farm you're losing

    I think when you weight the experience of all players without lag vs the players who have farms with redstone clocks, the experience of all players wins. Yes, as someone who likes to make redstone farms aswell, it's shit, but I wouldn't want to sacrifice the whole performance of the skyblock server for some farms run on redstone clocks.

    (EST timezone) the past few days, I've been lagging crazy during the afternoons but it's gotten better in the evening, if that helps

    Regardless, idk much about the effect of redstone clocks/observers and how easy they can make farming, but the betterment of the server should be prioritized above all else

    You can still make those, but just less laggy.

    Denied! You should have said and prevented this from the beginning. Hundreds of players made systems using them. If it is to be prevented, you should give a great apology and some apology award to all players using this system so that the players do not get bored.

    • People have already made lots of money and farms out of these 2 things, and anybody who hasn't done so up until now would have missed out, and the people who did would have a ton of money/an advantage which is just unfair
    • Blocking observers is like blocking out pistons, it's a key redstone component in many 1.16 redstone contraptions
    • Redstone clocks aren't entirely necessary in most redstone builds, therefore I think it's fine to block them if they're causing lag
    My opinion:
    - Don't block observers
    - Feel free to block redstone clocks

    A reward such as having a better lag-free experience? Beyond that, I don't agree with rewarding people for causing large amounts of lag. An apology is fine, but a reward only encourages people to find things to cause problems in order to get more rewards.

    I, personally, apologize for thinking about redstone clocks with sugarcane but not other farm content. That's totally a me thing.

    Do you really believe that the players who made those systems will break those huge systems and make new ones after breaking them? If yes, do you really think they will continue to play on the server? Many people I talked to on the server say that if this happens they will stop playing on the server. Also, the fun of the game without lag is a reward. However, you cannot ignore people's efforts!

    Do I believe that if we fix the lag people will continue playing? Yes, absolutely.
    We're not ignoring peoples efforts. We're asking for input, lol.

    I am curious about this one. How are you gonna moderate this? Yes, saying clocks are banned is a step, but people can just close their island or hide the clocks from outsiders. Besides, it will take a while before the redstone clocks will be removed, so this won't solve the lag problem fast.

    (not criticism, just wondering how this is gonna be enforced.)

    Yes, solving the problem of lag will be a very, very good thing, BUT people will have a hard time breaking through those huge systems they make.

    If you are going to do something like this, I have a suggestion for you. Do not let people break those systems, you can do this somehow through the code or plugin and return the broken items to the players :)
