Super new to hosting a server, having issues with tick rate.

From reading this server's posts I know to slap the spark report here. Need a little help deciphering the results. I kinda see that entities are my issue as far as I can tell but I am not entirely sure how to adjust the entity settings.
Server Hardware Ryzen 5 5600G 32GB 3200MHz Ram Simulation distance: 32 View distance: 32 If y'all can point me in the right direction that'd be amazing! And if there is anything else I can/need provide for better/easier assistance please lmk! https://spark.lucko.me/rVocKupT2j

thoos distances are kinda high there is no need for simulation distance to be 32

if you want to change how far you can see only chnage view distance and leave simulation distance i would change the simulation distance to 10 and view distance to around 16 or so @Thrive

i'm genuinely amazed your server is sitting around 19 tps with maxed sim distance. that's definitely the first thing i'd turn down if you want to bring that back up to 20. sim distance only affects how far out things are being processed, so you rarely if ever need it that high

Appreciate it y'all. I also did some more research into some mods and grabbed AI Improvements as well as cranking the sim dustance down. When everyone hops off for the night I think I'll also run Chunky for a large bit of the overworld map

Oh sweet. I started reading some documentation on all these flags but damn, it was going over my head real fast.

Hey @snowznz.bak since I am using forge and have a few different places I could put those flags, I put them in the unix_args.txt (not sure how familiar you are with that bit). Seems to be running fine so far, only have 1 person on the server right now though so we'll really see when more get on later. I backed everything up so if you recommend a better file for the flags I'd be happy to hear it. Thanks again for the link! Tick rate with all the suggestions so far is still spiking hard into average 123ms/tick. Any and all other suggestions would be appreciated!
