Hi so there is a plugin out there called ClearLag which would delete ground items every 30 minutes, it gives a 60 second warning and a 20 second warning. I played on another modded server which had this plugin installed and it was 20x smoother than CraftAU. Also what might help with the removal of lag on agrarian and monster servers is removing anyones base that has not been active within the past six months. And also removing the player.dat file of anyone that was not active within the past six months. This mostly helps especially with a big database. Doing all these would make the server playable for me as within the past two weeks the server has a 30 second delay for me which is a lot of time. I am willing to make any plugins to optimize lag for players if you want. Hope you take all this into consideration
Well why cant we remove at least that five percent? we can also do other things but it is unplayable for me so I am willing to do anything I can
If 95% of the lag isn't items then that 5% isnt going to make a difference. Having 2 people connect and load the chunks they are close too + using machines would cause more lag than the 5% of items on the ground.
well, back in mindcrack we had this also on a friends old server we had this, and it was deleting all entities, including carts which was annoying plus, items in loaded chunks despawn anyways and if the chunk isn't loaded, doesn't do much
