Server & Whitelist Status Update

The server has been up for over a month now and things are going okay. But, as we add more people and we all progress in the game, tps lag has increased. I’ve stopped adding new players to the whitelist while we try to fix this.

I’m testing our world on a more powerful server, and it is performing a little bit better there. However, this will only delay the problem a little, and sadly, we need to add some rules to make a real difference. It sucks, but I think those of us playing on the server lately are willing to make a few sacrifices to get rid of the lag.

Are you ready?

  • Chicken Chunks chunk loaders now only load chunks for 2 hours after the player exits.
  • Extra Utilities chunk loaders have been disabled because offline use is not configurable.
  • AFK players will be kicked. This is a manual process and a pain, so please help us out and exit the game when you are not playing.
  • RFTools Dimensions will be limited to 2 per player. You can create as many temporary dimensions as you want, but pick 2 that you want to keep so the rest can be deleted.

Some of these may seem painful, but it just means we have to be more creative. Instead of having a different dimension for each resource, have one with multiple features using multiple resources. Instead of setting up a quarry and going afk, plan things so that your quarry (or farm, or bees) can work while you are doing something else.

I want to keep the server as least restrictive as possible, but I’m really enjoying playing with you all on the server, and I want to keep it going for as long as possible!
