Need some help identifying the cause of latency
Recently, we've been experiencing some lag spikes in our server, so we made Spark report to try and identify the cause of this issue.
Though these tasks are handled async, it seems like CoreProtect (alongside Skript's saving variables) are the more resource-intensive ones. Unsure if this has an actual performance hit on the server
My server is rocking ~50 MSPT and sometimes over, but the spark report doesn't seem to point out anything....
what even is this
someone recommended me this thing, and I'm asking to know, is it any useful?
looking at the description, this tool seems useless, especially if I download plugins from trusted sources only(Modrinth, Spigotmc, or build from source)...
Solution:
“RareHyperIonYT Version: 15.15
It's still the same as it was a year ago, most of its "detections" are based of a database file which is just a list of blacklisted authors, checksums, class paths, etc this is a very bad way of handling this and leaves many gaps in detections and easy to bypass while still managing to have many false positives if it wasn't for the whitelists and even at that it still has false positives on obviously safe plugins.”

Considering Adding an Anticheat
I run a server where people play minigames with datapacks that I programmed, with the different games separated into datapack-specified dimensions. Recently, I’ve been watching a player use movement hacks - flying, super-speed, knockback resistance, etc. I learned they’re using Meteor Client to do this. What are some good ways to prevent this movement hacking? Can it be done on a Vanilla server, or would I have to use plugins?
For context, I have experience with datapacks, but I know basically nothing about plugins. The server is the standard Vanilla, hosted on Scalacube if that helps. Ideally I’d like to keep the server Vanilla if possible....
Creative mode saved hotbar exploit
I found out players can give themselves illegal items by going into their own world and creating a hotbar profile. They can give themselves items such as the ender dragon spawn egg. How do I fix this?
Solution:

or

could both solve the issue of items with custom data, but idk about the ender dragon egg item...
~50 player event, most reasonable host?
I have a restricted island, about 2000x2000, and probably somewhere around 50 players. Optimized as much as reasonably possible (Paper, no natural entity spawning, no explosions, pre-gen) -- standard plugins, anti xray, anti-cheat, zoning, perms, factions.
How.. low can I dip before it affects gameplay? I imagine the minimum to be Ryzen 5 5600 16gb RAM? Any hosts in mind, or specific hardware comments would be appreciated
Most importantly, the event will only last 3 days, need some buffer days for testing and all but really only looking at a maximum of 6 days of rental....

your best bet is hetzner and their hourly vms
Floating entities
Hi, I'm not sure how I get these, I think it appears more after crashes (this spot used to be an enderman farm). I tried this command "/minecraft:kill @e[type=armor_stand,distance=..300]" but it said no entities was found.
I'm hosting a Purpur server, version 1.21.4
Has anyone meet this problem before and how can I solve this. Thank you!...

Admin / Safezone Plugins
I need a plugin that'll allow me to create a no PVP zone, No grief zone, etc, in certain places. Especially since I would like new players to be able to freely move around without dying. Any recommendations?
How do I stress test a server?
I've had issues with different server hosts like enviromc and bisecthosting, either for being too expensive, or for just not being reliable enough. I'm planning on using indifferent broccoli, which provides a 7950X and DDR5. I'm planning on using 12 gb of ram specifically for the server, but I want to make sure it can run with no issue. (The environmc server has tick rate drops often and I rather not have to deal with that even with 7 people on)
Any tips?...
TPS drops when reaching over 40 players
Hiya,
My SMP server is getting TPS drops when we come above 40-45 players online. I've already turned the render distance down to 7 along with following YouHaveTrouble's optimisation guide.

daylight plugin
Anybody know if there's a plugin that makes it so each player can toggle whether it's night or day? Just for them, for everyone else it stays whatever they set it to.
Please help me with simple advice / maybe a tutorial.
I host my own public Minecraft server (just started). I need to know the proper way of backing it up daily. I tried looking online and maybe I'm not searching it correctly or seeing it.

searching for a plugin name
I've seen other servers have a really good looking player name editor that allows you to put text and placeholders next/under the player's name. kinda like this:

Suggestions on server hosts to use
I currently use bisect hosting, but they're pretty expensive, I heard enviromc was good but I'm not too sure. I average around 15 players active and would like to implement a nations plugin. (There's about 40 people whitelisted)
(also recommendations for nations plugins would be nice)...

Looking for suggestions for server hosting
Hello! I'm currently trying to look for a host that can handle a 50k x 100k map with a estimated playerbase of around 100 people. I have looked at OVH, Pyro, and Hostinger. OVH doesn't seem to have good hardware for their lower priced Game servers, Pyro cannot provide storage above 340 gigabytes, and Hostinger does not disclose what kind of cpu they use/cannot provide enough storage. (The map is estimated to be around 500 Gigabytes after generation)

Paper server issues with End Platform Regenerarion
On a paper server I’m a part of there seems to be an issue wherein the obsidian spawn platform in the end doesn’t regenerate after being broken. I’ve noticed it will flicker when an entity goes through the portal, but the broken obsidian blocks do not get replaced.
I’ve been looking through the paper configs and as far as I could tell nothing should be creating such behavior. Is there something I’ve missed, or is it likely from a plugin instead?...
