so watching the network monitor while playing minecraft multiplayer is quite interesting.... seems like a LOT of information always being sent back and forth. there are even 28Mb/8Mb spikes every so often.

that is quite interesting, I've never played Minecraft so I can't really comment. Usually games use ticks but if lots of action occurs at once then you'll see increases. So in FPS you'll see data increase when lots of combat occurs.

Yep, MC uses ticks as well. Known to cause issue with some of the Redstone timing on servers. People think CoD lag is horrible. And next update is the "Combat Update" which I have no idea why...

Ironic that a game with the simplest graphics uses the most bandwidth lol

 

It's also a massive sandbox world that has loads of entities with their own AI, contraptions that can be built and activated, etc.
