How to reduce lag...

As we all know, one of the problems we face with the Xbox version of Minecraft is lag. Here is how to fix or ameliorate two of the primary causes of lag are:



- Entity count. Animals, mobs and items on the ground will all cause lag. I once created a 128 block tower extending from bedrock to what was then the sky cap. The tower was only about 20x20, but in it I placed an immense amount of sheep--about 20 floors
of sheep, each of a different color. When people visited my world, their game crashed whenever they approached that tower. Spread your entities out across the map and don't keep them all in a single chunk.



- Redstone - There is a redstone lag that is unavoidable. Block updates and tick calculations take resources. However, the "real" redstone lag is actually very minimal. What most people believe to be "redstone" lag is actually light updates. Whenever
light changes, the game has to update all affected blocks. Light from torches, glowstone, etc. doesn't typically create an issue here because the light is consistent (the blocks don't need to update light amount). However, redstone torches and repeaters
both emit light. The light from these changes not just the block they are on, but all blocks in the vicinity. When activated, most redstone devices cause the torches and repeaters and go on and off repeatedly. Each time this happens, the light levels on
all of the blocks in the vicnity have to be updated. This can happen many times a second. The cumulative affect of all of this is lag. How to fix this? The answer is actually very simple--glowstone. Encase your redstone creations in glowstone. Maximize
the light levels in every corner of your contraption. The light from glowstone is much brighter than the light from redstone, so if you do this well enough, the light levels on the blocks around your redstone torches and repeaters will not change and lag
will be reduced dramatically. This will also help reduce the lag from pistons, since the activation of a piston can cause a block to change from opaque to transparent, at which point light will pass through to other blocks.

Great advice WildAttorney.

 

This needs way more views. The redstone lag fix is genius! I always wondered just why the heck it was so doggone hard for the xbox 360 to push a block via a piston. Now it makes sense! It's because it has to update the lighting! This is great info! Thanks!


...I'll stop using exclamation points now. XD

 

I thought we all knew this a year ago. I did.

 

This is useful but after the April 29, 2015 update to Minecraft for XBox one all of the animal and creatures in my game seem to warp in and out of existence and behave in a mad way (flying pigs, cows that can walk through walls, endlessly falling skeletons
etc). Is there something in the update that has caused this? Is there a way to remove the update and revert to my previous version of Minecraft which did not suffer this issue?
