Simple question for someone who knows enough about running a server to be able to actually answer it:

Does redstone ore blocks cause lag?
Say for example if you filled a 50x50 floor of it and it then flashed on/off when you walked on it (because that is the simple nature of the block).

[Bonejunky]

Well, it rapidly turns on and off, and with tons in one place, it could possibly generate lag.

It's a loop that causes lag, when a redstone torch flickers on and off causing a movement in a circuit ( normally designed for timing) (effects) EG: a flashing christmas tree.

If you design a circuit (average size) that doesn't require timing eg:
A password protected door, a auto harvest button the server wouldn't lag at all but to design a loop uses the same equipment to build any none looping circuit.

I hope intelli finds a way to make it so you have to pay for a loop.
This would be hard and i understand why he's blocked it.

EDIT: also, spamming a button would cause lag/ a switch. but that would stop when you stop so it's not constant lag.

You should try actually reading before you respond......kids these days.
