This pertains to all kinds of vegetables, fruits, berries, seeds, fibers, trees, bushes or any other crop from, but not limited to Minecraft crops, Pam's Harvestcraft, GrowthCraft, Forestry and Mystical Agriculture

Rules

• You're limited to 12 separate chunks with a maximum of 6 layers of soil with crops.

Animal Farms

This applies to land plots with passive and active animal breeding and/or stocking where animals are kept alive.

Rules

• Per 1 chunk you may hold a maximum of 20 animals;
• In total you may own up to a maximum of 100 animals (5 chunks with 20 animals per chunk).
• A chunk containing an animal farm or a large collection of animals may not also contain a mob grinder.
• Animals must be given enough room to move freely, stacked entities that push each other constantly can cause lag.

Mob Grinders

What is a mob grinder?

This is a setup that spawns and kills animals and/or hostile monsters and uses methods such as but not limited to Monster Spawners (Minecraft), Powered Spawners (Ender IO), Mob Duplicators (Industrial Foregoing) or magical ways of spawning monsters, and uses any source or form of damage to kill the mobs.

Rules

• You can have a maximum of 2 chunks spawning entities per player/shared base.
• Mob grinders must be built within the borders of a chunk, use F9 to enable chunk borders.
• Spawners must an XP vacuum and Vacuum chest (or alternative) to pick up XP orb and item overflow.
• Spawners must have an on/off switch with redstone using an easily-accessible lever.

Machines

Be reasonable, build what you need and dismantle what you no longer need. If you're an oldschool player and you do something according to the old ways with redstone, pistons, droppers, dispensers, observers or flowing water, be aware that there may be a much cleaner modded solution. Ask your fellow players on Discord!

Rules

• Don't build large amounts of the same machine just to speed up production or processing. Let 2 machines process a batch of items over a timespan of 8 minutes instead of building 16 machines to do the same job in just 1 minute.
• Dismantle old machines you no longer need in favour of new, high-tier machines.

Multiblock Structures

Avoid building a multiblock structures that use multiple chunks or cross chunk borders; Always confine the structure within a chunk, do not cross chunk borders. Use F9 to enable visual chunk borders that help you.

(A Crafting Module is the combination of Crafting Storage blocks + Co-processing Unit blocks)

• Max size of 4x8x8 per module
• Max of 8 large modules (large being >= 3x6x6)
• Max of 16 non-large modules (being < 3x6x6)

Power Generation

Rules

• Adjust your power production to match your actual needs. Avoid (over)producing that which you don't need.
• Prioritise power storage over power production by investing in an Induction Matrix (Mekanism).
• Share power with teammates, friends, and strangers if it means fewer players will persue the construction of power generation which increases lag.
• Dismantle/remove old ways of generating power in favour of your best method.

---

• There are no restrictions on solar power, this can always be used alongside any other power production method.
• You can use Dynamos, Generators, Mills, and IC2 Nuclear Reactors, but you must dismantle them when you upgrade to Extreme Reactors, a Fusion Reactor or Rainbow Generators.
• You are only allowed to own one of the following three end-game power production methods at a time, you are not allowed to combine these:

Rules on Tile Entities

Ticking TileEntities (also known as a block entity) are a major contributor to lag. These essentially store additional information and are found in/embedded in chests, dispensers, droppers, hoppers, barrels, shulker boxes, beacons, spawners, pistons, enchanting tables, jukeboxes, note blocks, sensors, beds, cauldrons, obviously all types of machinery, and more notably in this modpack in:

• Forge Microblocks
• Chisel & Bits blocks
• Painted blocks (EnderIO)
• Framed blocks (Blockcraftery)
• Lamps and blocks emitting light (except for vanilla glowstone)
• Starfield Glass (Thaumcraft)
• Ceramic Blocks (Binnie's Botany)
• Sky Blocks and inverted Sky Blocks (OpenBlocks)
• Seared blocks & Seared Bricks (Tinkers' Construct Smeltery)

The number of such blocks, often used decoratively and aesthetically must be limited. Some of you have built whole walls and floors using these blocks, turning their base into a more severe lag source with just walls, floors and ceilings than those who have a lot of machines!

There is no way to put specific numbers on this, but these blocks must not be used excessively. We are able to detect them and we will ask players to fix this when we do find out, but we expect you all to reduce the number of these blocks used in your builds on your own as well.
