Title. I don't use these things atm so I would rather they don't use my server's CPU!

Hey, I have the same problem! I don't have any redstone/normal torches in my world + I have disabled anything about this feature but it still takes

on average | all,

on average | lag,

on total | all and

on total | lag

This is like the heaviest idle thing on my server rn and I'm curious if there's a way to disable it. Thanks!

EDIT: I do actually have some torches in another world.

please provide timings link

and I'm sure you haven't disabled everything. You also have to disable weak crops. Please paste your config.

As for MoreMonstersTask, it is checking all locations to see if the world has the threshold enabled - basically from the per-world config times. Eventually I want to reimplement that. So, hmm.

rereading the reports you guys are showing, the impact is near-nil for MoreMonsters. Not much can be determined for RemoveExposedTorchesTask (which also is responsible for destroying weak crops) due to no timings links provided. Also, the resolution to avoiding this task being run has been provided (must disable both torches and weak crops).

Oh, alright. Guilty as charged then! You have a better memory than I do! (Although a lot has changed on the server in the past 4 years, so,.. that's why I like things being modular :D)

Weren't you the one who requested Redstone torches to be covered by this task? Lol I'll take a look but I think that task also is responsible for also breaking crops when snowing - so you'd need to disable weak crops too if you don't want this task to do anything.

I honestly have no recollection! Either way, it's not like it's a massive loss of ticks, I'm just trying to make sense of my timings and thought it might not be intended (I don't have the expertise to look through the code, I'm afraid). Anyway, thank you ONCE AGAIN for your prompt response :)
