Teh Pizza Lady

Welcome to the forums!
I understand your concern and share it somewhat however, I do not own or game on a Mac, so I cannot speak to any sort of experience with it. However I do have a functioning set of eyes and they noted a slight difference between the link you shared and your summary of it.
This line in particular:
To me this suggests that Rosetta will still be around, but its usage will be limited. I did a little digging around and found that Apple announced that they would be migrating away from Intel-based macs and transitioning everything over to Apple Silicon which is ARM64-based and arguably better at getting more work done for less power, thus reducing heat output and eliminating the need for noisy fans and reduced risk of thermal throttling under load. These are all things that Apple wanted to achieve and they have done so. Thus they implemented Rosetta which just acts as a translation layer between the Intel-based software and the ARM64 processor which cannot read or understand Intel-based instructions.
However what's more true to my experience is that Anego works hard to ensure that their game will run on a vast array of machines ranging from potato computers to powerful gaming PCs. So what I would do is head to the VS Issues github repo here: https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues  and tell them about this issue and see what happens in a few weeks, months or even over the course of the year.
At this point, I wouldn’t assume Mac support is going away. More likely, over time, Mac builds for the game will simply shift toward Apple Silicon (ARM64) as the primary target, with Intel support left as a secondary download for those that still need it.

this is the solution I would also recommend if you want to ride together. However if you're intending it to be a community elk, I would build a stable to keep the elk contained and prevent it from wandering and then just keep the flute and medallion in the elk's saddlebags when it's not being used. Best of luck!

I recommend getting https://mods.vintagestory.at/simplehudclockpatch for starters. It's simple, out of the way, and can be added to any existing game without much fuss. Also https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/25352 is really good if you struggle with finding items that drop from doing things like mining, chopping trees, or farming, since these items don't bounce and rotate like they do in the other block game. Also if you're a red-blooded American like me then this mod is a MUST HAVE:  https://mods.vintagestory.at/freedomunits

First let me welcome you to the forums @Oulana! I hope you enjoy your stay here!
Secondly, I believe there is a command you can run. From the wiki on this topic, you can run
/wgen pregen [radius] to pregenerate chunks around the player. Take care as this can cause a massive lag spike if your server hardware is weak enough that you need to pregenerate the chunks to make the game playable. This process will also take some time, which is a valuable commodity in VS as I'm sure you'll see, so I wouldn't go this route unless you're having issues with the server lagging as people go exploring.

Looks like your host is partially correct that they personally don't have any issues. But their ISP is certainly having issues. I would forward them this information as well as this screenshot:

While the ping to your server is fairly steady (it will always fluctuate depending on what the server is doing at that moment), it appears that your host's ISP is causing the pings (and therefore the communication data that VS requires to keep you on your server) to get lost in the magic black box known as the internet. It looks like your host uses aurologic.net as their ISP. I'm unsure what rules Germany has about internet connections stability, so I'm not sure what leverage you have here to getting this fixed, but I would label this "unacceptable" if it happened over here in America.
Hope you see some resolution and happy gaming!
