players from various regions facing random lag, among other issues internally on the server

i cleared all minecarts on the server, should i lobotomize the villagers as well? https://spark.lucko.me/FdcgkQ0nSc As another issue, i cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to create a velocity network. the proxy will connect to the limbo server perfectly, but when it tries connecting to the main server, it is always either timed out or connection refused. is there a specific address i should use internally? i am on a pterodactyl panel.

additionally, a player had high ping and it went down after he disabled particles

i'd like to find a solution that doesnt involve forcing them to kill villagers
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
follow this entire thing
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Lobotomy might be it
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
i generally do 172.18.0.1 instead of 127.0.0.1
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
see, i followed this to a T and my server did not work anyways
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
works for the 30+ setups ive done /shrug/
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
is there a port range i shouldnt work
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
upgrade to 1.21 pufferfish and use pufferfish DAB

If the villagers are mostly being bred and located in trading halls it shouldn't hurt to lobotomise their AI somehow
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
makes sense is there a plugin you recommend for the villager lobotomizing or a config? sorry for the double ping btw
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
^ oops ^^ that can help immensely with villagers and other brain ticking entities
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Man went for the full ping combo
sugryoon

apologies if this is a dumb question, but you're recommending i change from purpur to pufferfish for my server jar? in which case how should i handle the transition
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
its just changing the jar, and you should go to 1.21 because pufferfish only released a 1.21 version not a 1.20.6
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
ah ok i see
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
i assume you havent changed purpur config?
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
No plugins though?
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
i have a little
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Do you use any plugins that may be incompatible with 1.21?
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
make a backup ofcourse and do tests
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
honestly i have no idea, most of my plugins are frequently updated i can try this on a test server ofc i'll update the test server to 1.21 pufferfish and try the network config (yet again lol)

Look for the purpur.yml, find the villager thing and enable lobotomy If you make it wait till trade locked to lobotomise you can probably have the best of both worlds So the villagers look normal in world but then are lobotomised once used for trading halls
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
i would do pufferfish dab over lobotomy
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Ayo dabbing? :dab:

in the meantime i will lobotomize on the prod server but on the network test i will use dab just to see if the plugins work

is my server's cpu alright too? im always afraid its not good for my usecase
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
horrendus cpu
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Xeons are bad Afaik
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
no this one is but modern xeons can be quite good
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Kind of a sidetrack but does Intel's stock price falling come from their newer items being bad or what? Looking to upgrade my CPU and not sure if a Xeon makes sense
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
do you think its part of why my server performance isnt amazing
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Very likely
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
now i know why ovh had such a good price on it lol
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Minecraft as a single threaded game really wants speed, Xeons are generally known for having many cores but not being fast, which is great for a server host as they can sell more servers and have them run off the same CPU but not so much for the one renting them
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
new intels arent that good imo if youre talking desktop usage
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
I'm gonna shove it into my self-hosted server and call it a day Problem is knowing what to get
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
there was a recent revelation from intel tho
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
for gaming r7 7800x3d is the best atm iirc
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
which caused their stock to fall with the 13th and 14th gen afaik they said there were issues
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Like for servers? Oops wrong response
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
desktop i believe oop
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
For servers?
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
ryzens are quite good for general usage
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
I'll feedback that reco to my brother though thanks, he's looking to get a desktop
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
all my ryzens have been great, my recent upgrade is running hot but ive bought an aio to hopefully cool it down
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
newer ryzens are really good

can purpur 1.21 use the pufferfish dab features?
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
One of those is like a fork of the other, not sure which one but every fork has the options of the previous
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
yeah purpur is a fork of pufferfish ok i'm assuming it does then lol
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
It should have puffer stuff then
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
i keep getting this Can not write to file server.properties, skipping. error
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Uhh did you edit it while the server was off
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
no i just did a fresh install lol it does this on all the most if not all mc servers i install which is weird bc a couple months ago it wasnt doing this
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
I'm not sure what the issue is or how to fix it, best to wait for someone else who does
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
okie
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
I suspect it's a perms issue, if you are running a server host check if the file perm number is 777
sugryoon
sugryoonOP6mo ago
assuming its some backend perm issue can i check perms with ptero? oh yeah i can all good now! thanks
Deathpacito
Deathpacito6mo ago
Yay I helped :wooloo:
