Helium Plants out of control in the Nether

My server went from ~20% usage of one 1 core to over 100% and TPS dropped to sometimes as low as 2 ticks per second. I could not login.

/profile showed the offending EntityItem location:

I then went into MCedit and found the offending entities at those locations in the Nether : PCraft Helium Plants . When I used ExtUt's "/xu_killitems", it cleaned them up and server was happy again.

I do have a chunkloader in the Nether because I have bees (Alvearies) in the Nether. This issue probably does not occur for someone not chunkloading the Nether on a server.

MC version?

Closed as I think it's fixed in 1.7.x. As I don't get response on the question I'd have to assume it's 1.6.4
