DMemory usage on the panel is what the JVM has reserved from the system.
DThe only way to lower this would be to modify your JVM flags.
Iwhat flags would I have to use?
DVaries based on what you're trying to accomplish. I can tell you you're asking for a lesson in futility though.

II am using paper. My issue is that when I first start the server, it idles around 1 GB ram but after I join and leave, it stays at 2.5 GB
AWhere are you getting the mem usage reports?
ATrough panel?
Ithe paper server gui
I
AThe server GUI is not a good source to see memory usage
Iwhat should I be using?
AYou're seeing what the JVM is allocating.
A good tool to see memory usage is..

AA really cool plugin

AIf Xms is in a low value, the JVM (usually) won't use all the memory you've given in xmx, it'll use just what it needs & reserve the rest just in case it needs to use more
AYou're lagging from what it seems? Avg tick is almost 1 sec long.
ASpark is good to see this kind of stuff, not the server GUI
II have the Hibernate plug in which throttles CPU usage to almost zero when no one is online
AOh I see
AThat's selfhosting in your own computer from what it seems
Iyeah, I plan to eventually host it on something like AWS but I'm just testing stuff out on my PC for now
ANoooo aws nooo
AThat hardware is not appropriate for Minecraft
Iah. What should I use?
AYou can ask in #marketplace
Iwhy is the aws hardware not good for this?
AMost plans in aws are old CPUs or just CPUs that don't have a great singlecore performance
AThey're not the bestest option to run Minecraft, & I'm assuming you don't need a VPS right?
AMost of the stuff at #marketplace is good tho. What's your budget out of curiosity
II'm just looking for something that charges based on usage rather than a flat rate
AAh I see. Well, it's true that aws offers that thing.
ABut it's worth checking a bit at #marketplace
AOr making a post
ANice PFP btw
AIt's funny lmao
Ithanks lol
Qdisagree with this, the issue with aws is the cost. they offer PLENTY of really nice cpus. its just 10x what you'd pay for from buying a host... then ur also paying for bandwith
AThanks for the aclaration
AI guess it is perhaps of the plan you're getting
ADo you know how good is the plan he wants to get where it's paid by usage?
Qits a lot more complicated than that. i wouldn't really call it a "plan"
you're paying for an instance, then for how long u use the instance, theres 100s of instances you can chose from, then ur payin for attaching storage to the instance, then paying for the bandwith u use (after 1tb)
in terms of performance, you can get REALLY great hardware. but the great hardware, even if ur only spinning up the instance for half the day, you'd still save money paying for a host (not on aws). with aws, you'd also have setup crazy logic to spin up/off an instance as ur using it

Qu would need to completely turn off the hardware to not be paying for it
Qso even if u have the mc server off, ur still paying for the instance
Q( ive used aws for hosting servers cause i get free vouchers thru my work and have min-maxed alot of it)
DEven their compute plans have generally worse single core performance than the consumer hardware mc hosts use.
