Hi I just built a redstone lighthouse on my res and it has been going nonstop for about 8 hours as off this posting and I was wondering how long have your devices left running nonstop lasted? Usually anything that is clock based will barely last half a day for me; but the lighthouse is minecart powered and is still going strong. I ll see if i can climb into the machinery to grab some pics later without hitting the minecart
a minecart is now classed as an entitie, and its direction and momentum are saved when it is unrendered (around 24 blocks?) so technically your redstone is only running when you are withing 24 lateral blocks of it, being further away from it causes the minecart to go into unrendered storage and stop running
grr that sucks is that an emc modification? wait a minute my second res is more than 24 blocks away from it but i can see it running
yes aikar has been changing things to reduce lag (hence the server doesnt die every second of the day due to everyones redstone) i'll find the original thread and quote it... here!
its possible its triggering some form of immunity... though I didn't intend for it to >_> Though putting an animal in it will def give it immunity.
1x1 cages makes them cause more lag than if they were spread out some. but yes you can borrow one of them
