Lag Guidelines

1. Create

   2. Pipes can be laggy if they have more than 1 input and output and 1 pump.
   3. Do not build huge vanilla (dripstone + cauldron) lava farms, use hose pulley to pump from an infinite pool.
2. Loose items
   
   1. Drills leave behind dropped items.
      1. Use cobblestone generators and/or drills on contraption with storage.
      2. Use AE2 annihilation planes
   2. Do not design farms throwing items around or dropping items.
      1. Do not drop items into lava using funnels, use chutes instead.
   3. Make sure that your contraption has enough storage.
3. Entities

Intentionally breaking these guidelines will result in stopping or potentially removing your farms/contraptions, and if repeated, it might result in a temporary ban.

These guidelines are in place to make the experience better for everyone.

Gameplay Rules

1. Prevent builds and entities from causing server and client strain:
   
   1. Keep Create contraptions small; continuously running contraptions with block-modifying machines (e.g., drills, deployers, saws) should not exceed 10x10 blocks.
   2. Avoid having excessive mobs in one location. If mobs are cramping or bumping into each other, reduce their numbers.
   3. Use entity-clearing mechanisms (e.g., hoppers, chutes, funnels) to avoid item overflow.
   4. Ensure contraptions have sufficient storage to prevent item spills. Set them to shut off automatically or turn them off manually when storage is full.
2. Prevent laggy methods for farming resources:
   1. Refrain from building massive dripstone-and-cauldron-based lava farms. Instead, use a Create hose pulley to pump lava from an infinite pool.
