Optimising your server means to improve the performance of the server by implementing tweaks without heavily modifying desired mechanics. Advanced optimisation is only recommended for large servers suffering from poor performance. ### Spark Profiler -You should use the Spark Profiler for monitoring server performance e.g. vanilla mechanics, plugins, GC pauses and cycles, memory usage etc. +Use the Spark Profiler for monitoring server performance e.g. vanilla mechanics, plugins, GC pauses and cycles, memory usage etc. +Spark is also able to profile all threads generated by your server using the `--thread *` flag. You may use this to diagnose high CPU usage, for example. +
### Server JAR -[https://pufferfish.host/downloads](https://pufferfish.host/downloads) is currently the fastest, most stable free Paper fork available. Another alternative would be [Purpur](https://purpurmc.org/downloads), which provides additional mechanics for players at the expense of rather negligible performance loss against Pufferfish. -As for proxies, [Velocity](https://papermc.io/software/velocity) is easily the best option. Although it doesn't have as many plugins as Bungeecord, it is far more stable and secure by default. Most popular plugins have already added support for Velocity. +JAR | Summary +------------ | ------- +[Pufferfish](https://pufferfish.host/downloads) | Free and completely stable Paper fork primarily focusing on entity optimizations. Recommended for most smaller networks. +[UniverseSpigot](https://discord.universespigot.com) | Extremely powerful paid fork. Best for the largest networks, being able to hold more than 600 players with ease. +[Leaf](https://github.com/Winds-Studio/Leaf) | Free Pufferfish fork. Contains patches similar to UniverseSpigot, though it is not as performant. It's stability has been called into question, but has worked fine in our testing. +[Purpur](https://purpurmc.org/downloads) | Paper fork which contains lots of Quality of Life options. -You may also want to take a look at [UniverseSpigot](https://polymart.org/resource/universespigot-1-20-1.4805). Highly recommended for servers with player counts exceeding 200 (and experiencing lag, of course). It's $70 price tag is certainly worth it. Do be careful with what settings you change as they can drastically affect gameplay. Topic | Summary ------------ | ------- Basic Optimisation | Tweaks that will likely suffice for small to medium-sized servers (< 100 Players) assuming that they have sufficient CPU & memory resources. -Advanced Optimisation | Tweaks made for larger servers with at least 150 players. +Advanced Optimisation | Tweaks made for servers that need every drop of performance they can get.
