How To Optimize the spigot.yml File To Reduce Lag

Important!

This article is made for users who have ‘Paper’ servers. If you don’t have this type of server, this article will not work for you.

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

3. Select the ‘spigot.yml’ File

---

3.1. Change the Following File Parameters

Within the file, identify the lines with these names and add these recommended values for better optimization:

– save-user-cache-on-stop-only: This option prevents constant saving of user data while online. Improves performance, but may risk data loss if the server crashes. Set it to true.

– entity-activation-range: This option controls how close entities must be to players to activate AI. Leave this option as same (default).

– merge-radius: This option increases how close items/XP must be to merge, reducing ticking entities. Too high values may cause bugs (e.g. teleporting through blocks). Leave this option as same (default).

– nerf-spawner-mobs: This option disables AI for mobs from spawners, improving performance on spawner-heavy servers. Set it to true.

– max-tick-time: This option controls max tick time before skipping logic. Setting it to 1000 disables the feature to avoid breaking gameplay. Set it to 1000 (disabled).

– mob-spawn-range: This option sets how far (in chunks) from a player mobs can spawn. Keep lower than view distance to ensure effectiveness. Set it to 6.

– arrow-despawn-rate: This option controls how long survival arrows stay before despawning. Reduces entity lag. (300 ticks = 15s). Set it to 300.

– item-despawn-rate: This option sets how long items stay on the ground before despawning. Reducing helps performance but may annoy players. (4000 ticks = ~3.3 minutes). Set it to 4000.

– tick-inactive-villagers: This option prevents ticking of villagers outside activation range. Set it to false.
