Hello everyone & @LoneDev ,
I'm excited to discuss the new DisplayEntity method introduced in Minecraft version 1.19.4 and its potential integration with the ItemsAdder plugin. This method offers a way to display items visually without placing them physically, which can significantly reduce lag on our servers.
Traditionally, using item frames or armor stands can lead to drops in both FPS and TPS, especially when multiple items are displayed in the same chunk. Typically, we might limit ourselves to around thirty "furniture" items per chunk to avoid server strain. However, with DisplayEntity, this limitation can be greatly reduced or even eliminated, as it is much lighter on resources and allows for displaying numerous items without affecting server performance.
I am considering delaying the launch of my personal server to hopefully see this feature implemented in ItemsAdder. This integration wouldn't just be a minor enhancement; it could make our servers less laggy and more enjoyable for everyone.
Are there plans to add DisplayEntity to ItemsAdder? Such a feature would greatly benefit server performance and expand our creative possibilities.
Thank you!
