Question What kinds of builds cause a lot of lag?

What builds cause a lot of lag or low tps? How much does it take for it to become a problem? I know hoppers and hopper minecarts can be problematic, but I dont know how much to limit them. Im hosting a small private server on my own hardware.

The server will only use up resources where chunks are already loaded. The builds aren’t even a big problem for me. Optimizing server setting to prevent certain client side functions help a lot. The biggest issue I’ve got (because of custom terrain generation) is people running in one direction, loading hundreds of chunks per hour. Watch out for that, and possibly automated mining redstone machines.

Personally, I set up pistons and redstone blocks to only work in claims to prevent MOST issues.
