  1. I think you wrote things backwards. Mojang is the one that puts no limits on anything. Spigot adds Activation limits.

    In regards to the original question though. Some things will be permanent - as they were the source of lag (yes villagers). Finding a non-laggy way to bring iron farm-like-villager usage is still desired - just hasn't happened. It is difficult.
  2. how is one even supposed to have any moderate-sized iron farm if a villager activation range is 5 blocks? lol.

    unless I am misunderstanding, I assume one must activate a villager (in this case within 5 blocks) for iron golems to spawn thus making up a iron farm

  3. We will evaluate ways to restore things once we are back on solid ground. Right now we can't afford to take performance back away...We are just finally hitting stable but that is still fragile.

    I'm sure we have plenty of iron and gold stock piled to provide enough to supply for years still heh.
  4. 100%, im honestly not sure why we need more lol, we must have like a 1:10,00 player to ingot ratio at this point

  5. To be honest, I manage to chew through iron like it's candy... I've been iron farming for years but have somewhat stalled at the amount I have now. If there won't be any iron coming in, I'll slowly go down in my stock. :p

  8. Is there any way that increasing drop rates for golems could be done? Seems like that would be middle ground solution. I also never have enough iron in stock

  9. I don't think that solves anything. I may look at ways to boost iron mining though! That is completely lag free.
  10. Lol this week I used a single chest of iron blocks, and its thursday

  11. How does increasing the drops from golems not solve anything but doing it for iron ore does?

  12. seems as though his intention is to make it so that its not lagging the servers while still having it kinda similar, but youre right at the rate lots of us older, more established players use iron we’d need instant break or something to get that much iron by mining lol and then youd have to smelt it still

  13. What are you all using iron for? Obviously I know what it's smelting recipe is. But I don't understand how you can use that much on a regular basis. Legit question.

  14. I'm wondering the same. I've had an iron farm for over five years and have had a double chest of iron blocks there that I haven't even touched because I use so little

  15. My guess is Iron blocks look nice for industrial or modern style builds

  16. this is the only thing i could thing of also, personally i highly doubt ive gone through a single chest of iron blocks in nearly 5 years

  17. i mean you know anything that requires iron... buckets, rails, minecarts, hoppers, etc.
  18. .. Emc Iron Farms and The Storage after a few years...

  19. I set up a lot of beacons, and iron, being the cheapest resource, I use regularly as the only component for beacons.
  20. I have a lot of buckets (probably more than 20 DCs), that uses a lot of iron. Making hoppers also takes a lot (1 DC hoppers = 5 DCs of iron ingots). Pistons also uses a bit, but if you make 3 DCs of them you're down another 3 DCs of iron ingots. I needed a lot of minecarts for something recently, also uses iron. A 40000+ block netherrail? Iron for the rails! Beacons? Lots of iron! So over the years I've used many DCs of iron blocks on these things and more. :)
