Players have been unable to use redstone to their full potential on Snapcraft. Why is this? Simply put, it is because of the default render distance.
Snapcraft's owner says that the render distance is put to the bare minimum to allow the best player gameplay allowable, by reducing the lag.
However this decision to keep a render distance of 2 reduces mob spawning on skyblocks and inactivates redstone that is not within 2 chunks (32 blocks) of the player. This may be the reason why your redstone-powered natural spawning mob grinder is horrible!
The render distance that player's use to render terrain is controlled by each player, but the default render distance controls the chunks loaded. That is why it is essential that the default render distance be larger than 2, preferably 10 for mob spawning rate increases, but because this is Snapcraft I'll be lucky to persuade an increase to 4 chunk default render distance.
I don't understand why this server is an exception when it comes to the amount of lag. Many servers have a farther default render distance but Snapcraft wants to make this lag free, and in doing so it removes a lot of game mechanics that Minecraft has to offer. Please consider increasing the default render distance!
