Economy Update & Performance Changes - RbenZ - 08-06-2026 ? Economy Update & Performance Changes Hello everyone, After a lot of consideration and reviewing the server’s performance over the past weeks, we’ve decided to make several changes to the economy system. These changes are necessary to improve server performance and provide a smoother gameplay experience for everyone. Why are these changes being made? Over time, many players have built extremely large automatic farms for crops, food, iron, and gold. While these farms are impressive, they generate a significant amount of entities and redstone activity, causing the server’s TPS (Ticks Per Second) to drop from the ideal 20 TPS to around 13 TPS during peak times. This performance loss results in: Increased server lag. Delayed block updates. Slower mob AI and redstone. A less enjoyable experience for all players. To restore server performance and keep the economy balanced, the following changes are now in effect. ❌ Selling Disabled The following items can no longer be sold: Farm Crops Food Iron Gold These items were the primary source of income from large automated farms and were the biggest contributor to the server’s TPS issues. ✅ Items You Can Still Sell Players can continue selling: Blocks Animal Drops Mob Drops (Zombies, Skeletons, and Spiders) ? Updated Sell Prices The sell prices of several items have been increased to encourage alternative ways of making money. Stone: 5 → 6 Cobblestone: 5 → 6 All Wood Logs: 8 → 9 Obsidian: 8 → 15 Bone Block: 0 → 9 Ghast Tear: 0 → 10 ⚠️ Ghast Tear Farms Although Ghast Tears can now be sold for $10 each, building Ghast Tear farms is strictly prohibited. Players found using dedicated Ghast Tear farms to generate money may have the farms removed and may face additional punishment. Manual collection while exploring the Nether is completely acceptable. Our Goal These changes are designed to: Improve server performance. Restore TPS closer to 20. Reduce lag for everyone. Create a healthier and more balanced economy. Encourage a greater variety of money-making methods instead of relying on massive automated farms. We understand that these changes may affect some players’ current setups, but we believe they are necessary for the long-term health of the server.
