So it turns out, most of the lag we had/have on Survival, is due to hoppers, and I can take a couple of actions to reduce the impact:

- Starting May 16th (00:01), I am disabling LWC protections for hoppers. That means you will no longer be able to protect your hopper with LWC
- Depending on how effective this measure is, we will see what is still needed to do.


We believe this will reduce lag a bit, due to LWC not running so many hopper checks, but hopefully, I hope it will also discourage users from using hoppers, as they are terrible and Mojang should feel really bad about their implementation :S

PS: Chest sorters are one of the worst offenders FYI.

After testing I have done I have found out an effective way to reduce lag is to put a Dropper above any hopper exposed to air on the top. That will effectivly add an inventory above it and make it stop trying to check for item drops on the top.
I have started using it in super smelters and hopper lines.

That will reduce client lag, not server lag.

I have been told that it reduced game tick lag or whatever it is called...

The server lag is actually due to hopper checks so that would make it worse, not better.
