Restrictions

• General Notes
• Water Production
• Nesting Containers
• Cable Management

General Notes

• Chop down redwood trees or giant oak trees using treecapitator.
• Break large chests filled with items, thus dropping them all at the exact same time.
• Spam-mining using mining tools (eg. Infinity Drill, Terra Shatterer, Bound Pickaxe, Mining laser).
• Using Hoppers or stacking Hoppers on top of each other.
• Vertically stacking your base. Instead spread your base out horizontally over multiple chunks.
• Leaving behind dropped items and XP orbs when mining - Instead use a magnet (eg. Coin of Fortune, Void Satchel).
• Leaving behind dropped items and XP orbs in mob grinders. Instead use a Vacuum Chest or Vacuum Hopper.
• Using excessive amounts of Cyclic Assemblers Thermal Expansion, Crafters Ender IO, Auto Workbenches or Auto Crafting Benches or Mechanical Crafters. If you really must use them, do not run them 24/7, this may have severe adverse effects on server performance. Use Molecular Assemblers in conjunction with Applied Energistics Crafting processors for batch/bulk autocrafting;
• Using many transfer nodes with stacks of stack/speed upgrades.
• Using more than a single Tank from OpenBlocks - Instead use Drums or Black Hole Tanks.

Water Production

Only use a Sink Cooking for Blockheads to produce water. This is a fast and infinite source of water. Do not use anything else for this purpose!

Nesting Containers

What are containers?

Any Bags, Backpacks, Pouches, Satchels, Strongboxes, Shulkerboxes, ME Storage Cells or similar items capable of storing items, are considered containers.

What happens if you do?

When too many items with all of their metadata are nested in containers, that single container exceeds the NBT stringsize limit of data one player inventory slot can hold, and it will corrupt your player data. It can also have very adverse effects on server performance when trying to open or load said container.

Cable Management

Keep runs short, and avoid using hundreds or thousands of pipes, tubes, cables, ducts or wires (anything transferring anything) when wireless alternatives exist. Make proper use of Ender Chests EnderStorage, Ender Tanks EnderStorage, Quantum Entangloporters Mekanism, Quantum Bridges Applied Energistics 2 and Dimensional Transceivers Ender IO.

• Mekanism Machines can push items, liquids and gases to an adjacent machine or container without needing pipes or tubes in most cases.
• Thermal Expansion Machines can pull and push items from and to adjacent inventories without needing ducts.
• Ender IO Machines can push and pull items and liquids to and from adjacent inventories without needing conduits.

Bad

Good

Don't form 2D or 3D grids where cables, pipes or tubes of any kind are all interconnected. Use a Configurator Mekanism or Cresent Hammer Thermal Foundation to separate connecting cables, pipes or tubes and form strips instead of grids.

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.

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.
• Some power generation methods may be crafted and built temporarily for the purpose of completing a quest but must be removed again afterwards.

Mob Grinders

This is a setup that spawns and kill animals and/or monsters. It uses cursed earth, vanilla spawners, Ender IO powered spawners, Industrial Foregoing Mob Duplicators or magical ways of spawning monsters, and uses any source or form of damage, or machines, to kill the mobs.

1. using Cursed Earth
2. using Active Spawner (all types of spawners, duplicators and other methods)

Rules

• You can have a maximum of 2 mob grinders per player/shared base;
• Mob grinders must be built within the borders of a chunk, use F9 to enable chunk borders;
• You cannot place spawners on top of cursed earth, these must be on 2 separate layers;
• Spawners must have 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;
• Cursed Earth mob grinders must have redstone-controlled lamps to be able to turn off mob spawning, with an easily accessible lever.
• A chunk containing a mob grinder may not contain an animal farm or a large collection of animals;

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
• Painted blocks EnderIO
• Framed blocks Blockcraftery
• Lamps and blocks emitting light (except for vanilla glowstone)
• Sky Blocks and inverted Sky Blocks OpenBlocks

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.
