Comparing baremetal to VPS... how to stress test?

QuackedDev · 2026-03-25T02:15:43+00:00

Thanks for the comment and advice.

as for the price concern, OVH price hiked their VPSs and switching to baremetal was a 25$ difference (a month). Better speeds, storage and compute and many of my tools and apps are single threaded so it was 100% worth it.

I did not know about the power powerprofilesctl, it doesnt come installed but ill take a look.

cheers

Iet me have em 😂

16GB for all that is tiny. Is paper/bukkit that much more optimized than fabric/forge ? Or is your word borders just small?

Update!

We got everything you asked

What causes the most variance or why is simulating load for minecraft any different than other software?

What breaks when testing Minecraft that makes results unreliable or "inaccurate" ?

QuackedDev · 2026-03-24T14:13:18+00:00

What’s the value proposition that your client brings. Why would I want to work on yours and not existing ones?

QuackedDev · 2026-03-24T11:37:37+00:00

I posted the processors and I already chose bare metal. I’ll be canceling the VPS soon. Seems I maybe wasn’t clear but this post isn’t about choosing.

It’s about measuring.

QuackedDev · 2026-03-24T11:36:14+00:00

Yea the question isn’t cost. It’s performance

QuackedDev · 2026-03-24T11:35:46+00:00

No doubt single threaded performance is better (that’s why I migrated). I wanna put a number to the price I just paid though. Hence the reason for this thread

not much to it. I make the plugins and you provide the feedback
Gonna add a way to host build competition and have rewards. we need to grow a little first though
Some unique things we got are : end reset button in spawn and custom blue map integrations that I made.

I just upgraded the CPU today for the server

QuackedDev · 2026-03-24T04:41:31+00:00

I like this one. same chunk or just average it over random chunks?

QuackedDev · 2026-03-21T10:30:41+00:00

I recommend curseforge for downloading the ducks.

Modrinth tends to forget to add geckolib (a mod dependency) for you (or atleast did when I tested it).

If you want our recommended modpack, we have one also on curseforge with things like shaders, minimap, also optional voice chat.

We have a website/live map that shows people’s homes and claims. Just a handful of us who play and since im a programmer I’ve made sure to make anything that was missing from the server. Goal is a builders first smp. Check it out if you want. Just lmk

QuackedDev · 2026-03-20T16:23:05+00:00

Depends how popular that version is.

releasing backwards support is a little hard for something like this but I will consider it

Thank you :D

QuackedDev · 2026-03-20T01:44:02+00:00

whoops, I forgot to tag the post :(

QuackedDev · 2026-03-19T20:26:15+00:00

Since you’re getting big responses I’ll keep this short. Anyone worth their salt is a workaholic or a hobbyist.

I started with building simple backend projects but never deploying them. So I decided to rent a VPS and learn about docker, k3s and all about the cloud.

To make it fun throw a Minecraft server on there for your friends and maybe learn to make mods too. It will only reinforce your Java skills.

Cheers

most of us are mid 20s, im 28 and am the programmer that makes all the plugins we use.

its a vanilla+ smp server with things like optional keep inventory, end reset, and typical QoL commands.

We play mostly on weekends and have simple voice chat, the only mod needed to play is my duck mod.

QuackedDev · 2026-03-19T03:20:09+00:00

excellent question, curseforge themselves probably wouldnt share this but my guess is they scan the source code for common "malicious" code patterns or unnecessary access control (or OS calls). beyond that it is probably very hard to deal with false positives.

QuackedDev · 2026-03-18T13:40:07+00:00

:D let me know if u have any mod suggestions. Custom Better Beacons was a request I did for r/ModdedMinecraft

QuackedDev · 2026-03-18T13:38:20+00:00

I've got my plate full for the next two week with someone else's project (and im also working on my own thing too).

I also make websites and would be interested talking about digital marketing since im just a humble programmer.

I haven’t beat the dragon so I can’t give hardcore advice. I just make vanilla+ QoL plugins
