It seems that on every server that i play on chunk loaders are banned and all those servers have none or very low lag. On mym since chunk loaders are not banned people have tons of them thus letting nearly the entire world be loaded at all times. i believe that if you make chunk loaders a banned item and remove them from the work( along with spot loaders or make them a donators item) it would lessen the lag and smooth the gameplay some.
DOnators Items+ Will never happen But the chunk loaders, while may be a prob, its defiently is the main prob as it only loads the chunks when the player that placed them is online
Players get a max of 10 chunks and thats 1 over the amount a player would load anyway without chunkloaders
True but when you have people who have near finished bases who stop playing or people who just stop playing in general who have 1 that means that the chucks they have loaded will be loaded forever Also can you check and see how many chunks are loaded when just 6 people are on. If you have it to that chunk loaders say every person has a chunk loader, which arnt hard to make, and say 200 islands have a chunk loader, thats 2000 chunks being loaded even when people arent on. Mym's SF2 server seems that it cant handle that many chunks at a time. Im just making a recomendation and i hope that you guys can look into this because it seems everyday the lag gets worse and worse
@pcrbuilder you ate under the impression that chunk loaders will load all the time, not true. Chunk loaders only work, as in load the chunks, when the player who placed them is online. This means if I pave a loader and log off it stops working. They only start loading when their owner is online, AND they have been loaded. So if I place one in the nether, and log out at spawn, then come back later, it will NOT be working as it is not loaded. Somebody will need to visit it WHILE I am online for it to start loading chunks. hope this helps.
