Today, during the recently-opened Christmas event, I was flying around with my elytra looking for stuff.

I was flying high and descending slowly, trying to minimize my usage of rockets, which are still pretty expensive to me (because of paper, funnily enough).

I was hit by one of the massive lag spikes everyone was getting (lots of people on the server) and jiggled my cursor (like most would do) to see if the game would respond. It didn't, and when the game resumed, I had flown into a tree and died.

Here's a quote from just after my death, detailing the super intense lag:
Quote:
[8:38 PM] commandblockguy » whats up with the lag
[8:38 PM] _iPhoenix_ » lots of players
[8:38 PM] ACagliano » a lot of ppl on, always lags the server so hard time flows backwards
[8:38 PM] commandblockguy » there are 6 players
[8:38 PM] _iPhoenix_ » there's only 2 minutes before [my items] despawn
[8:38 PM] commandblockguy » what are we running the server on, a potato?
[8:38 PM] ACagliano » like im literally watching my structure unbuild over time


This hit me hard because I literally spent (almost, minor excursion into filling a double chest with cakes) my entire session today getting my stuff back after falling into lava while mining.

I remember what I had because I worked pretty hard to get most of these enchants:

  • Unenchanted diamond helm
  • Mending elytra, purchased from Moon
  • Unenchanted diamond leggings
  • Unenchanted diamond boots
  • Diamond sword, looting 3, sharpness 4, mending, sweeping edge 3, unbreaking 3
  • Diamond pick, silk touch, eff5, unb3
  • 30-something steak
  • 30-something rockets


The unenchanted stuff and the steak and rockets are very much not a problem, judging by the diamond beacon in my base area. I'm relatively wealthy on the server, so getting this stuff back is not a problem, but it's a huge pain (as I said before, I spent several hours getting back to this point).

If this is too much of an issue or anything, don't worry about it. I'll keep playing and spend my time tomorrow getting my stuff. But I'd obviously rather be participating in the events Smile

Edit: I should note that the discord tps thing has been hanging out around around 15 - 10 tps for the past few minutes.
Man, that sucks
