I have a cobblestone generator that uses many block breakers and pnuematic tubes that bring them to a lot of chests that then get pumped into cobblestone pipes into an array of automatic crafting tables that make slabs then they are all cobblepiped to a condenser in my house.
The problem is that once I turn it on with a timer set at 1.5 seconds to break the cobble, after about 5 minutes I can't enter the area without lagging to death at 0 FPS. When I go to my house that is far enough away that the chunk is loaded but not rendered, I get about 100 FPS that every 10 seconds lags to 0 FPS for a few seconds. I checked F3 and it says the entity count slowly raises to 3000 during the lag spikes but then just drops back down to an average of 800 and I can play.
PLEASE help me because I don't know what is causing the lag.
