I am proposing a command to claim daily cropper hopper earnings rather than requiring people to AFK every single hour of the day. The server will be so much better with this command/change. I give credit to ZestyMemes for this idea. I am chopping up his large post of ideas into one idea so there is more support and focus on it. UPSIDES: Our laptops and pcs will be functioning so much better and have less strain on them. We will be making more $$$ with the 20 tps calculated into the earnings per 24 hrs. There will be less lag and problems when simply trying to play on the server. There will be more players and more incoming players with this better confrontation to the lag/tps. THE COMMUNITY WILL BE BETTER. THE SERVER WILL BE BETTER!
Okay, but the existing farms will continue to exist. This just gives players a passive revenue stream and allows even more massive farms to be built and afked at.
That is not a single bit of what I even said. The croppers become pillars to use the command to caim your daily revenue using the command. Croppers will have no other use when it comes to selling crops. There is absolutely no reason for more farms to be built if this command is added.
Pillars? You don't need pillars to use a command. Are these magical pillars? Croppers' only use is selling crops. Getting rid of that just leaves you with a hopper. Okay... why? It would really benefit all of us if you fully explained your idea. You only really gave one sentence to explaining your (zesty's?) idea, then a whole list explaining the benefits. We still don't understand what your idea is or how it benefits us.
The idea is that crop hopper farms would gave less strain if they can be collected once per day, instead of calculating every 20 mins each day. Less claculations=smoother server in theory
The croppers allow you to use the command to see what $$ if claimable. It really is not that hard to grasp if you can read. If we get this command, AFKing will not be needed and there will be much less lag/afk players who have giant farms. We simply log on and claim what would be earned if we were to afk per 24 hrs at 20 TPS. It means more $ and less lag.
For farms to make money, they have to be loaded in, as the crops have to actually 'grow' in order to give a player money. Unless there is some system that can count the amount of crop/dirt blocks on someone's island like /level, then give an average number of how many crops would have grown in that time, there is no way to grow crops without having a player near then to provide random ticks for the chunk. I do agree with what Abbie said though, having longer tax collection periods would help with the lag, although it would only be getting rid of the lag spike every minecraft day rather than overall low tps.
I mean, what's the harm in trying at this point. Either it works and helps the server. Or it simply doesn't hange any outcome to an already laggy and slow server lol
