`Lag`

Intentionally causing lag using mobs, Redstone, or other methods is not allowed. See "Lag & You" below for more details.

`AFK`

No AFK machines
No auto-clickers
No bypassing the AFK timer to grind farms

🐢 Lag & You

Server performance is shared. More players and entities lead to more stress on the system. Any and all redstone machines are subject to removal without notice if a staff member confirms it’s the source of an MSPT/TPS drop. If you have questions about a redstone contraption, contact Charged Gaming staff prior to construction.

🐮 Entities (Mobs)

Cull unused villagers and mobs
Even post-1.14.4, too many mobs in small spaces hurt performance
Avoid mob cramming by spacing mobs out
Use mob farms responsibly

🧍 Armor Stands & Item Frames

Armor stands cause significant client and server lag
Item frames are usually fine but limit their use in large quantities

🧱 Redstone (Major Lag Source)

Keep Redstone builds reasonable in size
Machines must have off-switches when not in use
We prefer ice or water item transport over hoppers or minecarts
Any redstone / sorting / other mechanical device created that generates lag in the server is subject to immediate removal without warning. Please contact a staff member for approval for large projects.

⚙️ Important Server Config Info

Here are the key server settings to help optimize your farms and systems:
