Let's count how many times I've tried and failed to connect to and play on a minecraft server. · 5:58am Jun 11th, 2017
Let's have an average of around 2-3 hours of Minecraft per week, typically occurring on weekends. This average will be used to represent all of May, and so there's about 10-15 hours spent playing in May.
Out of those 10-15 hours, about 90% of that time is either spent in singleplayer, or waiting to see if my connection is dropped.
All I want to do is try out my TNT cannon designs in TNT wars, but Comcast hates their customers' guts, while loving their money, so I don't get to.
There's a reason why I try to bring my laptop wherever there's good wifi.
Not to mention the fact that for a brief, 10-minute period, I was actually able to play lag-free on tntwars.net for just a moment, before suddenly everything came to a screeching halt.
Ironically, I can tell if my internet is lagging by seeing if my fps goes up. On the TNT wars server I play on, I get an average of around 30-60 fps when both teams are completely filled with players firing advanced cannons. When my internet goes kaput, that framerate suddenly bumps to 1000+ due to all entities and blocks becoming unloaded due to the dropped connection.
And no, I can't play on my phone's mobile hotspot. That lags out the server as well due to the limited bandwidth that my data plan has.
