I'll eventually sell it and upgrade to a newer gen 1u server but this will do for now 🙂

CPU Upgrade For Vanilla Server With Poor TPS
Well I got the server for free basically. I just bought 3 SSDs and some caddys and she was up and running so its worth the power cost to me.

Ohhhh okay that makes sense, I will definitely chase that down thank you! I'm really hoping this will help because I don't want to chase issues with my VM/compatibility. I'd sooner load the server up on an old optiplex i have lying around

CPU Upgrade For Vanilla Server With Poor TPS
Interesting. Could I import my world if I switched to Fabric? Is fabric optimized better? I really don't want to accept the fact that an enterprise grade server from 2011 is completely incapable of running a minecraft server but if that's the case then I'll have to accept it 😢

CPU Upgrade For Vanilla Server With Poor TPS
I run a windows/google work environment with a few linux machines sprinkled in for a living so that's why I went with Windows to begin with. It's what I know best and the ISO I had ready to go. The thing is, if the difference between Linux and Windows is what makes my server playable then I don't even want to run it and I'd rather just upgrade hardware.

I am running a hypervisor, not a baremetal OS. I have many other things running on the same server. Minecraft Server is just a nice benefit.

well sure, when you're renting out large amounts of compute and storage (for profit) of course you want to optimize as much as possible. This is just a small private vanilla server for two people. Do you have any kind of evidence that running in a vm and/or W10 signifigantly impacts performance though? Like any personal rhetoric or anything? You completely avoided the primary question to begin with, will the CPU upgrade make a noticeable difference? You are trying to push how you would run the environment onto me but the fact is its my hardware and my homelab infrastructure and a minecraft server is just a small little fun thing I can live without.

Are you just a VM hater or do you have any kind of evidence to suggest Minecraft servers run signifigantly better on bare metal?

I mean maybe I read it wrong, I'll take a look when I get home but I'm almost positive the GUI showed 60.

CPU Upgrade For Vanilla Server With Poor TPS
When I launch with my batch file (which has 12/16GB) allocated to the server the cmd prompt shows "loading spawn region 0%" about 30 times and then skips to 100% and says the server is struggling to keep up. Takes roughly 6000-8000ms to build the spawn region upon launch.

Look man I'm just telling you what the server says when I launch with a GUI. I'll provide a screencap later when I get off work. I mean, I believe you but I'm just telling you what I saw with my own eyes.

Sure theres less overhead but with such a high TPS does the GUI really even put a dent in the single core performance? The CPU and RAM usage sits below 10% when idle. I understand I am dealing with old legacy hardware and the CPU upgrade is actually under $100 so I would upgrade in a heartbeat. I just don't want to spend the $70 for the CPU upgrade if it just makes more sense to spend $250+ on a newer gen server if the upgrade wouldn't make much of a difference.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am not a Linux user so it'll take some R&D but I will look into it. This particular server is just a vanilla server for myself and my S/O.

I knew this was coming, it’s just the ISO that I had on hand and know how to work. The real question is: does Linux have any kind of superiority over windows when it comes to Minecraft server performance? Will a Linux Minecraft server utilize more cores or spread the workload out?
