@randalserrano(View Post) Minecraft doesn't need to update all blocks every tick. Have you ever tried to use a huge wall of pistons firing simultaneously? That's blocks updating. TPT needs to make powders fall and loop through every square for every frame.
@boxmein(View Post) It seems you foolishly doubt the power of iOS. The iOS devices are extremely powerful. They are regarded as weak because apps made for them aren't made correctly. If they were made correctly without contradictions in code the iOS would easily read right through them. Have you ever tried to comprehend a contradicting phrase. It's just like trying to understand something like. The next statement is false. The previous statement is true. (think about that for a while and you will get why it's a contradiction.)
Alas, we don't, computers with more processing power than any iOS devices still only run it at 20-30 fps on a blank screen, it takes a fairly powerful computer to run tpt smoothly through explosions and such.
