    Hello there! I am getting frequent ping spikes, often around 500 ish and the most being 900ish and unknown. The spikes often occur every 20ish seconds. With these spikes, mob grinding is quite hard and often results in death. Any tips? I am currently using Badlion Client and playing on minecraft 1.12.2! Thanks!

    I think it might just be lag spikes. Try using Optifine with 1.12.2, disabling smooth lighting, clouds, and entity shadows, and stop using shaders if you are using them.

    The only guesses I can come up with would either relate to what you're using to play Wynncraft or possibly the internet connection being used. If you're using an actual PC that isn't ancient, then it should run fine. If it's a laptop, it depends quite a bit like a Chromebook would probably die trying to run Wynncraft but if your laptop has a powerful enough processor, it could run Wynncraft ok. The internet speed being used might be the cause as the slower your connection, the less data can be transferred, thus lag. If you're using wi-fi, I'd try switching over to an ethernet cable if you have one, CAT 5 is best but I think CAT 4 would work as well. Optifine is an option that should help reduce the lag as well and try changing some video settings in Minecraft itself, like reducing render distance or turning off clouds, etc. If people happen to know more than me or want to correct me on some things I've said, please do.

    Currently, I am using a 2016 macbook air so I guess that might be the problem? The wifi download speed is around 50 mb per seconds and 35 mb for upload speed (since I use a wifi extender). I also use optifine for wynncraft as well. Render distance is currently set to 5 blocks and I have not turned off animations yet! I will try out these suggestions! Thanks!
    Also, it seems like its just the ping for wynncraft that is high since my ping for other servers like hypixel is quite stable.
    Another option I can do is manually downloading the resourcepack? Hopefully that works...

    Yeah, I don't think internet or the computer being used is the problem, you've got better internet speeds than me and the macbook I think is fine. Optifine is a must but IDK if this would help but maybe reducing the frame rate a bit could work? IDK as I've never personally had lag issues except the occasional lag spike. The thing is I don't want to reduce the game so much to the point it's unplayable.

    Could you send a picture of the f3 screen? It has a lot of information that could help, such as your computer's specs and RAM allocation.

    You can still move, right? Its just a desync (attacks do not register, but motion does), rather than the game freezing (neither motion nor attacks register), right? Or are your attacks casting a few seconds after you click (ping issues)?

    If it is a freeze, check how much ram you have allocated. If its less than 1-2GB, increase it. If its 8GB or higher decrease it.

    If its a desync, check your wifi connection. If its not a good connection then other devices, including other computers, phones, and even microwaves can cause the connection to break.

    If it's ping, then that might be a bit more complicated. What region are you in (this is likely not the issue, since you mentioned it being spikes)? You are probably seeing packet loss, so it could be your ISP not being able to handle things (I know mine can have these issues and its entirely based off of the time and day). Maybe try playing at different time of day.
