I haven't been on Hypixel in years. I think that last time I really every played on it with any consistency was before I started college. I have since graduated. I moved into a new apartment and got some nice high speed internet so that I could play online without any issues. Because of that, I decided to check out Hypixel.

Is it just me, or are there some weird server-side lag problems? Like I said, I have really good internet, so it's not a me thing. I feel like I have been experiencing way more latency issues than I remember in the past, alongside just general trouble loading into maps for some games. I've also noticed that games that utilize the inventory for menus also struggle a lot, such as in Guess the Build, where the block selection menu can sometimes just completely break because the server seems to just forget that a block is where it should be in the menu.

It's been a good 5+ years since I've played on Hypixel, so I do not know if these issues were present before or if they are more recent. Has Hypixel Studios just gutted their budget for maintaining most of their servers, or did I just never notice this before?

I'm not sure what is going on, but for whatever reason, I can't sell any of my gemstones to any merchants. They're in my inventory, but they don't show up in the trading menu. I have a lot of gemstones that I collected that I want to use for trading, so it would suck if I just can't use them.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? Has anyone else experienced this same thing before?

Edit: Current most possible explanation: As someone else pointed out, they have noticed that gems dropped from cloned glittermensch seem unable to be sold. I have fought a lot of these guys in my current save, so this is likely what is going on. I will have to check and see if this is the case, but it seems like the most likely explanation.
