Minecraft lag

Hello Corctom,
let me explain to you why minecraft is way more laggy than other games. But first: there is the possibility that youre PC is lagging or the server is lagging:
*Computer Lag:
- constant low fps
- slow respond of input
Fix: get a better pc or if you can not afford one, do render distance realy small and general low video settings, maybe optifine would help.
*Server Lag:
- reappearing blocks and placed block disappear again
- can't pick up items
- chunks don't load in
Fix: If you aren't the owner ... you can't realy do anything. If you are the owner put more money in the server and/or reduce the by players loaded chunks and entitys.

Now, why does minecraft lag more that other games:
The main reason would be, that one could change everything. In skyrim for example the world is fixed and can not realy be changed by the player. So, Minecraft is made in java and java is an object oriented programming language, which would make every entity(cows,item frames, players,...) and probably every block an object. I don't want to go into to much detail about programming. So basicly what does it mean If there is so many objects in a game? It results in every object "talking" to the other objects in form of methodes. But, thats still fine, till there is objects that get update a lot ( and may even have spectial properties) and thus "talk" a lot. Basicly resulting in many many calculations that need to be done.
Lets do an example of a realy laggy thing players like to do:
A player has 50 chickens in a small water pit:
Resulting in 50*50 calculations each tick, for the collision calculation for each chicken with each ckicken.
Then because they are in water also testing for block and 50*swimming hight for each chicken.
And then there are still all the "random" object actions, like cackling, shakeing,...
Lets assume every chicken does 5 "random" actions. So 50*5
Then we end up with 50*50+50+5*50=2800 methodes/calculations that need to be done each game tick just for that small water pit. Well but if theres no player loading it there shouldn't be a problem ... only if one is there, the server has a lot to do.

Now about the infinit world thing you mentioned. If there never was a player in that area of that minecraft world, it will not be loaded nor calculated the world is only as big as the players have explored it and also only the chunks where players are in, are processed. So if you have a laggy server reduce the loaded chunks and or entitys in those loaded chunks to reduce lag.
