Droppers Vs. Composters – The Effect Certain Blocks Have On Hopper Performance

Testing what effect putting certain blocks on top of hoppers has on server performance.

All testing had been done before 1.15 had entered into the pre-releases. This is why tests were conduced in 1.14.4. (though I’d expect 1.15 to perform similarly in this testing scenario)

Tests were all conducted on a local multiplayer server, running Minecraft 1.14.4 with CarpetMod, within a y0 glass floor world, with 70,000 empty hoppers, and no entities within the world. I stood in the same place each test and made sure all of the chunks around me were loaded before benchmarking. The server itself was restarted between testing each block.

CarpetMod’s tick health and tick warp commands were used together to get the MSPT (Milliseconds Per Tick) results of block entities. (‘/tick health 3600’ & ‘/tick warp 3600’)
