Yesterday my local server suddenly got huge tick lag. Whenever I place or remove a block, try to open an inventory, eat, etc I need to wait a couple of seconds before the server catches up.

By now, I've finally found the problem. There is a part of my itemduct network that has about 10.000 leaves in an infinite loop, and I don't know how to get them out without crashing Minecraft.

I initially tried breaking a block in the loop, this caused all leaves to spill out and left me with less than 1 FPS. I had to stop it because it just kept getting slower.

Second thing I tried was attaching an inventory to the network and setting a connected itemduct to vacuum. Didn't work, the leaves are still in the network.

Right now, I don't know what else to do. How do I get them out?

Attach a void pipe or void chest to the network, eventually they will be purged, if your fast enough you can also attach a diamond pipe to filter them into the void pipe\chest.

    I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly all leaves spilled out, out of nowhere (didn't break any blocks). I was lucky enough to have them fall over the edge into the void, and the problem seems fixed now. Thanks anyway!

If attaching an inventory to the pipes is failing, but breaking the pipes 'works' despite the lag, then create a method to handle the items after they fall out... a hole to the void, a hungry chest, a hopper to a void pipe, etc.
