Having your own server is a great help for Minecraft lovers who want to play with friends according to their own rules. However, the pleasure of such gameplay can pretty much spoil the appearance of lags. What is the way to eliminate them and prevent the emergence of new ones?
When the reason is in hardware and installations
Many novice "minecraft", faced with lags on their own newly created server, are ready to become discouraged because of them. Still - the planned excellent gameplay with friends did not work out! However, in such a situation, it is better not to indulge in sad thoughts, but to think about what could be the cause of errors in the operation of the game application.
Sometimes the solution to the problem will be obvious - if it lies in the far from ideal power of the computer selected as the host for the server. A gamer creating his own multiplayer site must be realistic in this regard. A PC that can barely cope with a single player will in no way "pull" the server - even if there are only a couple of people playing there.
Therefore, a Minecraft fan who dreams of a multiplayer resource should think about purchasing a sufficiently powerful hardware - with a large capacity of RAM, a good processor frequency and other important strategic parameters. However, the software must also be installed wisely.
Often the cause of lags is a "broken" plug-in or other software product that causes server malfunctions. In order to prevent such errors, it is not a sin to take installers for all game add-ons exclusively from reliable sources. In addition, you cannot overload the server with them - you need to install only those plugins that the playground is really capable of withstanding and which are really needed on it.
Lag Elimination Software
If there seems to be no problem with the capacity of the hosting computer, and the software is installed on it normal, and the server still lags with enviable consistency, you should think about installing special add-ons that can get rid of such troubles. A sufficient number of them have been released, and the creator of a multiplayer playground can only choose what is more suitable in his situation.
For example, he can opt for ClearLagg, a plugin that optimizes the load on the server and disables those functions that cause lags on it. Control in this case is carried out with the help of special commands that allow, for example, to stop the chain reaction of dynamite - if there are gryfering gamers on the playground, constructing entire towers from TNT, and then activating explosives, which will "lay down" the server in a moment.
In addition, this plugin reduces the use of RAM and also limits the number of different objects in the game world. Here you can disable unused chunks, see a list of those that cause lags, limit user actions through the Permissions function, etc.
However, it is worth considering other plugins with similar properties. So, NoLagg will increase the server's resistance to various factors that cause malfunctions in its functioning: explosions of dynamite, numerous drops, etc. The Stackie plugin also helps to organize the latter, and to eliminate unnecessary messages in an unnecessarily "overgrown" chat, you should use ICleartheChat. Such software products and their analogues will become a real help for the creator of the Minecraft server in overcoming lags.
