Copper golems cause massive lag spikes when checking chests and copper chests. MC-301963 might be related to this, but I’m not entirely sure because the spikes you get here are much worse.
Steps to reproduce the issue
summon 45 copper golems the natural way (pumpkins and copper blocks, that way the copper chests generate). After a few minutes, remove the copper chests.
Expected result
The game’s performance would remain consistent.
Actual result
The game lags to unplayable levels until the copper chests are removed. This also applies to normal chests.
can confirm. copper golems combined with copper chests are ridiculously laggy in 1.21.9 Pre-1
