Hello. Over the last few months, I've seen people talk about server lag in 1.14, and it appears Mojang (as one might expect) has done a bad job with keeping servers running well, but the fact it's apparent enough there's a bug on the bug tracker, is making me concerned. I'm sure people probably at least somewhat believe there will be a reduction in lag when the update happens. Of course, the admins can handle the update however they want, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I'm not trying to step out of my place, but this is actually kind of alarming.

https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-138550

An anecdote I think may be worth mentioning as well, is the fact that 2b2t ran stress tests that made the owner, hausemaster, decide against going to either 1.13 or 1.14. 2b2t is much bigger, to be fair, but most of it's size is in map size, and as such, there's of course not all 6TB worth of chunks loaded at once. Although it's an anarchy server without rules, playing are still loading their own chunks, just like any other SMP server, regardless of whether or not they have rules or not. I imagine there'll be more players after any update at all to the server, seeing as how long it's been. Players are probably getting bored of the gameplay, and the lag isn't helping. I'm sure anyone with any investment into the server would rather play without lag rather than have the latest features, and it seems the lag is pretty bad. I'm not complaining, but the truth is that MCO is very laggy. I don't know why. It's probably Mojang's fault. Also, 1.14 probably will break all the iron farms.

I sent this email because I mentioned it to Anna and she said if I was really concerned I should send an email. Just thought the admins should know. Personally, I don't like 1.14. My opinion isn't really that important, though. But I'm still sending the facts, which is MC-138550 being acknowledged as a valid bug by Mojang and remains unresolved, and 2b2t refused to go to 1.14/1.13 because of lag. Here [LINK HERE] is a video from ilmango comparing the lag between 1.12, 1.13, and 1.14.

Kind regards,
