Question: Chunkloading hooks?

[Mister_Omega]

I was over on the Railcraft MCF thread when I saw that Covert had removed the World Anchor due to Forge removing the hook that all of the chunkloading mods were using and I was wondering, why was the hook removed? Did Mojang screw with something?

No, Modders did.

They used it improperly and caused the majority of tick lag on servers that I debugged.

Once someone aproaches me with a better system, I'll stick it in. Until then, this isn't really that important.

Lex, lag is inevitable when using chunkloaders.

I understand the part of the hook being abused, but simply removing the hook with no valid explanation or replacement is just mean.

Perhaps readd it, but make it harder to use, so not any Tom, Dick or Harry can make a chunk loader?

[LexManos]

No, the lag is NOT inevitable.

You wanna sacrafice 70% of your tick time to load a single chunk? Ya, no.

I'll readd it when a valid solution arrives.

People have lived this long without it, people can live a little bit longer.

Wow... that just bites. Hopefully it comes back, chunkloaders were integral in some of my designs.
