Server optimization and Cannon settings

Server is running 6 cores and 16gb of ram but presently has TPS of 19.83 with 13 people on.

Have you tried a custom jar?

 

[GeezerGamer]

ItsHoney I have not. From what I know from Paper dev docs it is more than capable but I need someone who can figure out why it does not work and what is causing the lag.

Okay, I'm not an expert on this matter so sadly I cannot help you much with this, but here's a link maybe you can try tweaking some settings yourself to see if it improves anything.

You can use custom startup parameters to speed up the server - I use them myself for my own network.

@echo off
java -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:G1NewSizePercent=50 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=80 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=10 -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=50 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xms16384M -Xmx16384M -jar <jarname>.jar
pause

I'm 110% certain those startup parameters will not alter the TPS or make it any better than it already is.

I would recommend getting a cannon jar with the neccasary optimizations that a faction server would need.
There are a few main options you can choose from really:

- Bestles Jar (Mainly for larger networks $2,000 +)
- BeerSpigot (https://www.mc-market.org/resources/5376/ - This is perfect for budget factions servers with a smaller playerbase)

I have experimented with a lot of different startup parameters, especially due to my old Prison server averaging 20 players all taking out 8x8x8 areas every block they mine. We were hitting 16TPS averagely. After I introduced startup parameters, we rose to 19.5 TPS. It makes the processing more aggressive and takes advantage of more cores.

Please notice that the thread creator is talking about cannoning optimizations, this is not prison related.

All those startup parameters will do is alter the amount of ram used on server startup, and how much you have allocated.

I see, you're right. It's always worth a try with the parameters, but yes, a custom .jar would help.
