Create: Less Ticking

Performance Issues and Their Solution

The server with the Create mod began experiencing serious lag, which prompted me to develop this small but effective performance improvement. The main problems were related to unoptimized storage systems.

Optimization Results

Server performance measurements showed impressive results:

• Before installing the mod: 75 ms
• After installing the mod: 18 ms

Additional tests and comparisons are planned for the future.

How It Works

Create: Less Ticking reduces the update frequency of certain Create components by a factor of 3. The main focus is on funnels and chutes, which during normal usage create the highest server load.

This approach significantly improves performance with almost no noticeable impact on gameplay.

What About Conveyor Belts?

Conveyor belts mainly affect client performance (FPS reduction), while their impact on the server is minimal. Additionally, implementing their optimization would be technically challenging.

Limitations

Overclocked funnels may operate slower. Overclocking refers to applying a redstone signal to reset the funnel's cooldown time.
