    I don't know if it is just me but the survival and other things have been extremely laggy for me lately. I always time out and it is getting really annoying, if anyone could tell me what is going on that would be great.

    What (cliental) Lag is
    This lag is a direct result of the client. This means that this lag is caused by your computer running the Minecraft game. Client lag is affected by things like a large amount of entities (e.g thousands of dropped blocks or animals, and a few other related things, such as light values on structures running shader-packs, mods, etc). This will cause your FPS (Frames Per Second) to drop, and is the most common type of lag. When playing on servers this is reduced, as the game engine calculations are running on another computer (the server), minimizing the calculations your computer needs to run and therefore giving you, as the player, more resources to play the game. This is the only kind of lag that is affected by the quality of your computer. (source)

    Ways to improve/fix Lag
    > Installing the Optifine mod.
    > Restarting your Minecraft client and/or computer.
    > Leaving areas on the server that contain large amounts of mobs or entities.
    > Disconnecting and re-connecting to the server

    Note that it could also be your internet. If you live closer to the server running Minetime, you will have less latency, whereas if you live very far away from the server running Minetime you may experience internet lag.

    I am not getting fps lag. I actually get over 100 normally its just that I get server lag and I know it isn't my internet because every other server I go on is fine.

    And it is only with this server. Every other server I have has no lag but Minetime has had a ton since last night :\

    Maybe it's your location? I don't really know, but i hope it gets fixed. Playing with lag is really annoying.
