Boost Minecraft server performance using ClearLagg to automatically manage dropped items and entities.
Running a smooth Minecraft server needs attention to how resources are used. As time goes on the worlds get filled with entities, which makes the server slow and choppy. This guide tells you how to use ClearLagg to clean up entities and make sure the server stays fast.
What Causes Entity Lag?
Things like items that fall on the ground and mobs that are not killed build up over time. This makes the server work harder. ClearLagg helps with this cleanup automatically.
Getting Started
- Get a version of ClearLagg that works with your server.
- Open your File Manager.
Go to the
pluginsfolder. Put the ClearLagg file there.Restart the server so the configuration files are generated.
Changing How Cleanup Works
Go to the ClearLagg configuration file in the plugins folder to change how often things are removed and which entities are removed.
Looking at Server Status
Use these commands to handle entities:
/lagg check: Look at how many entities are on the server./lagg clear: Do a cleanup by hand./lagg area [radius]: Remove entities in an area, around where you are.
Conclusion
ClearLagg helps with entity lag. If the server still runs slow check the CPU usage, chunk loading, redstone activity or big farms.
