Server Problems? Post Here!

around 1 week ago, something changed. and since then only problems. and not really feedback what happend or whats changed. I get the idea EMC moved to other host, possible if true a bad move. But thats only guessing.

Give em hell Kar.

When I first try to log in to smp5 i get bounced back to the minecraft launcher game output page which tells me this

Second time i try to log in i get there, sometimes, fr a bit before being bounced out.

I'm lagging pretty badly (like I have for the last few days), and lagging out sometimes even since the restart.
There's like a 3-10 second delay when I type something for it to show up in chat.

Well, if you need to test I can keep stubbornly playing through the disconnects.

Just fell out of the world in the End thanks to lag on the way to the Enderman farm (world disappeared beneath my feet, got disconnected, falling into void on reconnect) on SMP 5 and lost the following:

Protection 4, Unbreaking 3, Respiration 3, Aqua Affinity diamond helmet
Protection 4, Unbreaking 3 diamond chestplate
Protection 4, Unbreaking 3 diamond pants
Protection 4, Unbreaking 3, Feather Falling 4 diamond boots
Sharpness 5, Looting 3, Fire Aspect 2, Unbreaking 3 diamond sword
Efficiency 5, Unbreaking 3, Silk Touch diamond pick
Diamond helmet
Diamond pants

Fantastic.

Really happy about this.

Sorry to hear that. This has happened to me several times unfortunately. It is why I put most of my stuff in my ender chest so that I don't lose too much when / if it happens again.

smp7 LIVE MAP is not updating wrt newly discovered territory. Black areas I crossed on Thursday are still black . Sorry if this problem has been previously reported, but I've been away for some months due to house-moving.

The live map will not update unless there is a block update within the chunk. Simply walking through a chunk will not cause an update.

It always used to otherwise you'd not get any map of water chunks and anyway there have been block updates within some of chunks

It always used to - so now I've got to make some sort of block update in every chunk for it to show - tres annoying and what happens at sea then?

Aikar had to change the way they work. The live maps are great resource drains and cause lag so modification was needed to make for better in-game performance (if I am understanding it correctly). There is a post about it but I cannot recall where it is.

SMP1 is crashing like every minute or so and horrible lag when your online. It's only smp1.

If you want to see what is in the chunk, not that it is a good solution, but a lava bucket could do it. Not sure if a tile entity would work, but if so, a stack of lily pads. Otherwise you are stuck using a diving helmet.

I reacted the same, but for some reason i like the new map setting to, extra challenge. and i think for watre. use a bucket, not tried it but that is a block update i think.

am I the only one unable to connect right now?
