As everyone who has placed redstone recently probably knows, it really lags the server out. I am aware that there are now measures in place to reduce the physical limit of redstone activities happening at once, but I have found that it kind of breaks more than it solves. I am trying to call the action a bad move, I just have a suggestion to further aid and/or possibly improve the reliability of many peoples' redstone contraptions.

With that out of the way I will cut to the chase:
Hoppers are now incredibly slow and unreliable. They do not function correctly. I don't just mean slow, I mean they work, just not correctly. This keeps breaking my hopper clocks.
Since hopper clocks do not seem to work correctly, I will have to rely on the old style of clocks. A lot of repeaters surely cannot be a better alternative right?

Well I came up with a quick idea. Not sure on the implementation but the idea goes as follows:
A redstone clock block. What I mean by this is a 'custom' block that outputs one pulse every so often. This could have a minimum limit of lets say, 1 - 2 minutes? Maybe it is a redstone block with a custom ID/Tag/Enchantment/Lore that distinguishes from the regular variant.

Truthfully, I don't know if this idea would help but I thought I would share it anyway. (These finding of the redstone lag/not working correctly are purely my own findings and I obviously cannot speak for everyone on the server whether their contraptions work).

Thank you for reading,

At the end of the day this server aims to be as close to vanilla (plain) skyblock as possible whist remaining mulitplayer friendly and engaging which is why the server isnt 100% vanilla. Adding things like this suggestion drags the server away from that aim. I do agree however that obviously hopper and redstone mechanics are not default but these were changed to stop the lag which (especially the hopper update) failed however as there was a slight improvement, they are unlikely to be reverted as thats just how things go on this server unfortunately.
