So when I play Minecraft on a server, I get a lot of lag. The lag can be as much as 30 seconds between breaking a block and it dropping an item. When I watch other players who are in the same city as me on my screen, they take a similar amount of time to move. It's like I am 30 seconds in the past. The lag applies to everything. I sometimes see other players floating around in the wrong place. As if their coordinates are not properly aligned? To them, I do the same thing occasionally. Whats more is that when they look at me, nothing is lagging. When I break a bock or open a chest, the effect is seen immediately. Once I fell below -1200y, but that might be unrelated. I can give more info if anyone needs it.
EDIT: OH! And the game SOMETIMES comes back into sync, but play-ability is the exception rather than the rule.
EDIT: I notice that some things lag more than others consistently. Chat lag and player movements are the biggest, while block lag is a little less. I can open a chest more quickly than I can kill a mob, because mobs seem to lag more than blocks. I am not getting ANY lag that looks clientside. As in tearing of the screen or low fps. The problem is not with my java, I tried a couple of different java installations. I think it has to do with communication with the server... But the error is on my side. Other people can report little to no lag at all. ALSO, the falling through the floor was NOT isolated. It actually happens pretty frequently.
So it looks like i have only been getting this problem on Big Dig servers. The vanilla servers are actually OK. I will move this to the modified client support, and try some other technic modpacks and repost to the forum on either Big Dig or Technic launcher.
It's totally not the internet. This connection is about 1.6 MB/s, wifi. If it were the internet, I would see lag on all things. Use the new thread please.
