At a glance Separate the ping problem from overloading the server and diagnose it one by one instead of guessing.
Determine what kind of delay occurs
- High ping: players react late, although the world can operate smoothly.
- Low TPS or long ticks: moby, redstone, and commands react slower for many players.
- One player's cuts: check his computer, client and connection.
Check the console and moment of the problem
Write down an hour, the number of players and what happened on the map. Look at the logs for errors and repeated warnings. If the problem started after adding the plugin, test it on the server backup.
Reduce the most severe load
New dumps, huge farms, lots of mobs, very high rendering distances and some plugins can load the server. Change one thing at a time, save backup and compare action under similar conditions.
When to increase the package?
If measurements regularly show a memory loss or a constant CPU overload on the correct configuration, a larger package can help. More RAM in itself will not fix a faulty plugin, network problem, or customer settings.
Back up first. Change one thing at a time.
Back up your working files, make a change and check the logs. Changing one thing at a time makes it easier to find the cause of a problem and restore your previous settings.
