Title: BetterStorage mod has high tick usage bug that causes severe lag Version: 1_0_4 OS: Server on CentOS 4 64bit latest kernel Java Version: 1.6.45 Description of Problem: The BetterStorage mod has a high tick usage bug that causes severe lag on SMP and SSP instances where chunks are loaded that use items from the mod. This includes reinforced chests, armor stands and crates. Once the mod loads at any time, it stays loaded and using CPU time in every tick cycle whether affected chunks are still loaded or not. Copyboy has provided a fix in 0.6.2.23-hotfix that is compatible with the 1.0.5 Hexxit build out now. I have tested loading this on a server and there were no issues with using it. The next release of hexxit should include the hotfix to allow for resumption of use of the items in the mod. A simple work around until then is to stop using the items from the mod. Error Messages: Server can't keep up or time changed messages in the server log Error Log:

If you are using reinforced chests, armor stands, leather backpacks, crates or locks and keys from the BetterStorage mod, you simply have to stop using them and the issue will not occur. That will put performance back to normal levels.

There is a bug in BetterStorage that causes a high usage loop to be entered if any chunk loads with any of the better storage items actively in use (reinforced chests, Armor stands, leather backpacks (not the ones for the backpacks mod), etc). I worked with copyboy and we found the issue. It is fixed in the 0.6.2.23-hotfix version he just put out. If you have these items in use, the server will spend about 25% of every tick cycle doing better storage stuff causing the server to lag like crazy. The more of the items you have, the more obvious it is and it can slowly creep up on you as you add chests and stuff until you suddenly realize your server is slow and nothing you do seems to help. Doing a restart only helps for a little while and then things go downhill as soon as some chunks with those items get loaded in. Now we just need to get that hotfix into Hexxit so it can be updated and people can use these items.

HalestormXV, I have resolved this issue by updating LWJGL. Minecraft versions prior to 1.6 use a very old version of LWJGL and this is a common problem for me and my friends. Updating the version of LWJGL always fixes this "instant" crash for me.
