How to Improve Minecraft Server Performance

The absolute most important step for improving server performance is to
PRE-GENERATE!!

• Using a mod like chunky can substantially improve your servers tick performance, which is STRONGLY recommended
  Plugin/Mod ----> https://modrinth.com/plugin/chunky

  We recommend doing the following

  Set the worldborder of the server (this is a Diameter, so this would be 5000 blocks in each direction from spawn)
  /worldborder set 10000
  
  This will tell Chunky to set the distance to the worldborder
  /chunky worldborder
  
  The starts Chunky
  /chunky start

• Another way to improve server performance is setting JVM flags ----> https://wiki.ibytehosting.com/books/minecraft-servers/page/java-docker-images-jvm-arguments

• If you are running into performance issues, please submit a ticket here ----> https://store.ibytehosting.com/tickets
  

• Mods/Plugins can cause a slew of issues, especially on heavily modded environments.
  Installing a mod like SPARK and following the guide is a good way to find which mod(s) are causing issues with server performance ----> https://spark.lucko.me/
