Truthfuly this is am amazing Idea. I added This to my server for fun when the update came out but saddly I DO NOT RECAMEND adding ths to a Long standing Community Server (maybe a short term server). I have to keep it disabled but the Hit to the tps is Incredible and it CAN NOT be removed. I am Probably going to have to reset my Smp Because of the lag and other issues this Data pack has caused. I don't want anyone to make the mistake i did Plz think hard before you use this Data pack. I recamend you remove it as a dooad untill you fix it. i am sorry to say this plug-in tanked an amazing server with some extream Hardware.

Hello,

A couple questions:
-What other datapacks are you using (If any)
-Are you running this on Realms or a private server?
-Is there any particular event/item seems to be most frequent with the lag spikes?

Based on the comments, there's a bit of optimization to be done here, but I have something to add to the plate, sadly. I have just learned that this data pack is solely responsible for disabling all access to the Advancements Tab. I was hoping to use this in my coming years-long series, but between this and all the issues listed in these comments, I'm regrettably going to have to remove this from my list until I feel safe using it. I've got 67 data packs already installed, and they all operate just fine with one another, staying at 20 tps. In fact, I still have a little breathing room. This one, however, tips the balance. I was truly looking forward to the holidays and the mail, and especially the meteor, as several other aspects of my collection include meteors, space, and Stardust. I will watch this one keenly, and am eager to see the 1.20.2 version get optimized!

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback.
I haven't come across the bug where you cannot access the advancements tab.

Are Advancements completely disabled while using this data pack? Or can you simply not access the Advancements tab?

I have looked back, and I think I know what happened. Not why, but what. The first time I tested your data pack, I got achievements, and then went to look at the page, and it was black, saying something like "There is nothing to see here, sorry." This, I believe was some sort of world load bug, that MAY have been to do with your pack, but yours was the only new one added at the time.

Then, to "confirm" it was yours, I loaded yours singly, and then immediately opened "L", and found the same message. This time, though, I did NOT make sure to GET an achievement first.

Most datapacks use Advancement tabs right off the start of the game, which when yours didn't, it threw me off. Honestly, Mojang needs to redo some of the Advancement page features. Right now, you only get 26 tabs. The base game takes 5... Then if you add Blaze and Caves, you're up to 16-20. And that doesn't leave much room for anything else. I've been so inundated when Advancement tabs of late, it didn't occur to me on the followup test, that you might not HAVE a tab at game launch.

In short, I think the first error was a fluke, and possibly NOT related to your data pack. I've been playing with it for testing all day today, and it seems to be operating just fine, alongside my 75 other data packs.

Of course, now that I am trying to reproduce it in video, it fails to manifest. Such is the nature of client-side bugs. I apologize for undue stress.

Hey! Firsty want to say I love this idea and thank you so much for putting your time into it! I did have an issue though. When I added it to my already created world, it caused everything to lag. This included when I tried to open chests/use the crafting table/ and even loading blocks. Everything seemed to work fine though, just the lag is a big issue. Im using it with your other 2 data packs as well as a few others but i've never had this issue. I tried to add it to my realm world and same issue.
