What are required plugins and essentials to keeping stable TPS
I am currently in route to achieving 100+ on a SMP server, i want to keep TPS STABLE or know the causes of TPS changes, we do have chunky and we have created borders so its going to be unchunk related, what are different things that cause TPS drop and ways to prevent it? I want to create a super stable server, im on up to 64 gb ram on my OWN dedicated server, the CPU is ryzen 9 5900x

We arent using Bungeecord or any proxy, but we are using GeyserMC
Pufferfish
For server software ^
^ or purpur if you wanna tweak more stuff
^ but most don’t need it
Pufferfish > Paper?
yup
it's based off paper
mhm
so your paper server will work perfectly with pufferfish
well, at most cases
Awesome can i get an official link to pufferfish resources?
You should follow Eternity’s guide for optimisation
I will
Make sure you always pregenerate
Pufferfish Host | Downloads - Pufferfish Fork
Download Pufferfish and Pufferfish+ Minecraft server jars
1.21 is not released yet
We did pregen lastnight, things have been stable so far, seen a few spikes, i just wanna keep it solid
nice
Consider sending spark reports when you're getting spikes
^^^
those weird lag logs
that say it isnt a crash?
oh
!spark
Spark Profiler
Spark can be used to see why your server or client is lagging.
Users can share a spark report via
/spark profiler start --timeout 300 which creates a report after 5 minutes. The spark report is useful in debugging why your server is lagging, so ideally you should always provide one while asking for support.

this?
Ye
Looks like a little memory leak yup
Also consider using Pufferfish for a little perf boost on chunk ticking
If you can switch from Citizens to something like FancyNPCs or ZNPCsPlus 2.0 that would be cool too
It would totally erase the npc plugin ticking usage
Amazing eyes, i love that yall have these tools this is amazing
Is pufferfish running 1.21?
1.21? Not yet
if i do a swap is there anything i need to change?
say the versions matched up
If you meant 1.20.1
Then you can just swap it
With no issues
i meant the other, but my survival is 1.20.1 so the swap question helps
You want to upgrade to 1.21? I'm a bit slow at night 😔
No just a question
youre good
Whats the easiest way to check what versions ur server is running ?
wait found it
can you link me to pufferfish 1.20.1?
Why 1.20.1 though? Are there some plugins you are using that haven't updated?
Yeah but ill probably drop a few, pufferfish isnt 1.21 so im guessing paper spigot is the best until then
Is this exploit patched?
Should probably be using this one: https://discord.com/channels/895192260210208818/895796635894943804/1170054659902279751

Good to know
Consider moving to ZNPCsPlus.
Iirc their latest dev build works for 1.21.
It has a migrator for citizens.
Citizens is laggy.
W , the migration was holding me back due to lack of time but i can test this out on the test server today
:Gladge:
but uh
use aikar flags
It's sad ZNPCs don't look at players but I suppose that's the price to pay for performance
/npc property set <id> look <FIXED/CLOSEST_PLAYER/PER_PLAYER>Oh huh
Thanks!

( this look good? ) assuming i did the guide right
https://flags.sh
Use this instead, but remove the flag called AlwaysPreTouch from the generated ones
oh snap, flags.sh is back?
i thought it got moved to birdflops
Always has been
Birdflop’s flag generator is weird for me
the ram never updates
i could've sworn it was down for a bit, and on the page it said to go to birdflops
it did say that they were going to stop paying for the domain or something
I do remember that
then that warning just… disappeared
You could still use the site when it was there
W site
mhm
Just looking at specs under spark show my ram corrected
great
so that could help, what do yall recommend for server
view-distance
and
simulation-distance?
both to 8 rn i just dont wanna fuck up farms and stuff
Not sure whats a good point for Survival SMP
8 view 6 sim is usually fine
the despawn sphere is 8 chunks radius so if you really care about that then do 8 view 8 sim
Thank you

but flags.sh still a lot easier to type
Indeed it seems easier, however, sadly flags.sh only provides aikar's flags whereas Birdflop provides flags from 8 different sources! -- and we have other options that flags.sh does not have (yet)
for sure, but aikars flags are always good enough
Yep, well either way you can't go wrong for using flags.sh-- its a great option. Just preference for the user(s)
I mean Birdflop’s generator has many more options
ZGC, Shenandoah
yeah and with duplicate flags cause they just chuck whatever on there and dont do any research or look at them
