Minecraft Server Optimization Guide
If you experience tick lag or high memory usage, follow these steps to optimize server performance:
1. Optimize server.properties
In the File Manager, open server.properties and tweak these key settings:
view-distance=6(Reduces loaded chunks around players)simulation-distance=4(Controls entity processing radius)network-compression-threshold=256
2. Pre-generating Chunks
World generation causes heavy lag when players explore new terrain. Use the Chunky plugin to pre-generate chunks before opening your server to players:
- Download and install the Chunky plugin.
- Set a world border:
/worldborder set 5000 - Set the pre-generation radius:
/chunky radius 2500 - Start chunk pre-generation:
/chunky start
