Growable farm optimizer
Over the years, lagassist has become a complete toolset to handle lag situations. From being able to replace laggy behavior with more performance efficient and player-friendly alternatives to providing the "hammer" option when everything else fails, lagassist has got you covered.
This new feature is intended for factions servers (predominantly on 1.8) that have piston pumpkin/sugarcane farms. Because of the lack of observers on 1.8, harvesting one single crop often causes extreme amounts of lag.

LagAssist can automagically break the crops when they are grown near to a piston that can harvest them, reducing the performance footprint in such situations by up to 90%


Stats API
The stats API allows you to send bytes via your server icon to specific server IPs. This allows monitoring from your bungeecord server via ping and is currently used in the EntryRise' toolset as a way to find if your Minecraft servers are available and running well.
