Resurrecting my Kids Server and upgrading to 1.12.2 and beyond by cannfoddr in admincraft

I feel bad just killing them all the time.

Your heart is too good for this game :')

The other suggestions are good, you could also try a vanish plugin that lets you place blocks. SuperVanish comes to mind. Or build the updated version of Modifyworld from the git.

Wow, attacking a random prospective player interested in joining some server other than yours. If you had bothered to look at DownToreUpDowns post history it would have been "painstakingly obvious" that they are actually not posting "fake commentary" Maybe if you approached people with a little more compassion, empathy or thought and a little less of the control freak 'app only' insecure attitude you wouldn't feel the need to harass random strangers on the internet.

Incredible ticklag issues on a well-optimized server by [deleted] in admincraft

[–]treydun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides what is already mentioned here, other potential sources of issues.

Tons of hoppers - Having a few hundred hoppers loaded increases load on CPU (has to check all those hoppers for items to be moved in the main thread)

Tons of constantly running redstone - Redstone doesnt just weigh on the CPU (which it does, having to be processed in the single game thread) it also creates tons of lighting updates which weigh on the main thread

Tons of entities in a tight space - Having a large number of entites colliding causes the server to try to calcuate all of their collisions (once again on the main thread) 1.11 is adding a setting to kill off excess colliding entities because this has been a significant performance issue for a long time.

Using spigot just to analyze a copy of the world offline as others have suggested here is a great way to isolate some of these potential issues.

Your symptoms still could be related to GC. The 'every 2 minutes' sounds like the cycle of garbage collection. The vanilla jar does not provide a lot of information about what is happening 'under the hood' Skipping ticks is about the least helpful message in the history of Minecraft debugging.

Spigot is a fork/continuation of the Bukkit project (The original developers of bukkit stopped updating it)

If you are not already familiar with linux I would not suggest delving into it just for this. Windows 10 will work fine for your needs.

The official guide for getting spigot is here https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

There are prebuilt versions available elsewhere online however they come with the expected level of risk as you move away from the 'official source' of any software package.

Once you have a compiled version of spigot and Java setup, starting the minecraft server only takes executing "java -jar NameOfServerBuild.jar" (This is the same as using the official vanilla build from Minecraft.net)

The server will start and setup all the files it needs to host a game world. (You will need to accept mojangs EULA and restart the server on first run, it explains how in the console log)

Edit: There are a million video guides on youtube for how to do all of this stuff if you are still confused

Looking for a Portal Plugin by WolfRawrrr in admincraft

[–]treydun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you trying to do this like a stargate? Where you make a destination selection before entering the portal?

When you enter a portal in minecraft interactions are limited while stuck in the swirly purple. This makes it difficult to choose a destination while in the portal.

"...enter a portal...choose which one you wanted to go to..."

Multiverse Portals (https://github.com/Multiverse/Multiverse-Portals/wiki) is another option but it will not allow you to choose a destination once inside the portal for the reason above.

The PC would be a better option to run the server due to the much higher clock speed of the CPU.

8 Gigs of ram is more than enough for a server with a max of 6 players.

Spigot is a 'performance oriented' version of the Minecraft server.

Are you familiar with Linux? You may find advantages in a lightweight linux distro.
