Oracle Free VM Feasibility
I've been looking for a good cloud VM to host a very small vanilla minecraft server (2-8 players), and a seeing Oracle mentioned a lot.
The always free tier sounds too good to be true, and I've seen some people say their CPUs aren't great.
But are there any benchmarks out there that give some measurable numbers to anything? For example, how many players can this VM reasonably support without slowing down the tick rate, and at what render distance?...

Connecting IP to external minehut server
So I have a server through pebblehost (premium plan) and my server has been active for about a week and I came across the external minehut option, I wanted to add it so more players can join and what not and I dont see any downsides currently to doing it this.
But I am struggling with connecting my domain to minehut, I have set it up no problem with pebblehost and my store website. but im unsure how to switch over to minehut, it just wont connect or what not.
my ip is play.voidnexusmc.com and java players can't connect to it, they can only connect with the minehut address voidnexusmc.minehut.gg and bedrock users can still connect with the ip play.voidnexus,c.com port 8011, so that confuses me too....

Estimation on server performance
Is it possible to even run 60 players online with 80 performance demanding plugins like movecraft and advancedseasons, on a r9 9900x, with the aid of universespigot, 1.20.4
Pregenning a server- TPS is ~2 ticks, and the chunk/entity count is over 20000 so far.
So I'm going to be hosting a modpack of roughly 300 mods (200 mods server side) for some friends of mine, and we wanted to use the larion disk world world generation + nature's spirit + WWOO (modified), and I've been troubleshooting it. The server was stable, no issues or hiccups, no crashing- until I started to pregen chunks. Using spark, I can see that there are thousands of entities loaded on the server while this is happening, which is slowing down the world generation immensely. The only way to clear the entities is to close the server. I made sure to pick and choose mods that shouldn't cause a lot of lag (with better end/nether being an exception), and so I want to make this work. Is there really anything I can do about the thousands of chunks being loaded, or do I just have to sit it out until it's done, then reload the server.
Even after stopping the pre gen, the chunk count and entities still linger, I'm just wondering if there's an issue with minecraft failing to offload the chunks or something.
I suspect that the entities are mostly comprised of falling blocks and sand/gravel from the world generation, so i started looping some kill dropped item commands (targetting kelp, sand, and gravel), as well as a falling block kill script, which has stopped the crashing for now. However, the entity counts are still rising with every minute I leave it on pregenning. I'm currently aiming for a 10k by 10k (5k radius) world, as per my larion settings....

databases
hi im using a bare metal and wondering if I should run my databases on a second machine or just run them on my bare metal machine. almost all of my plugins are using databases for storage as we are using sharding (cant use folia due to small custom maps)

Converting single player world to server world
ok maybe im doing something wrong but im having issues converting single player worlds to work on a paper server. the overworld loads fine but the nether and end are like fresh dimensions.
Im taking the dm-1 folder from the
Im taking the dm-1 folder from the
world
folder and naming it world_nether and putting it in the same directory as the normal world
folder, but when i start up the server, I notice that in the world_nether
folder, it makes ANOTHER DM-1
folder and i think its putting my old files in there and making new region/poi etc folders so its not reading the correct stuff i uploaded and idk what to do....Solution:
Just slap the world folder from your saves folder without renaming anything

Youtube / Tiktok content?
I'm honestly desperate for some advice here. Tl;dr: I have no idea what kind of content to record that will perform well on youtube / tikok and was hoping someone could give me some insight. If anyone has examples of shorts / tiktok videos for servers that perform well that I could learn from I would appreciate it. Not looking to copy anything, just looking for inspiration / ideas on how to promote my server.
I have a server that I launched relatively recently and I need to get players on. For that reason I first hired someone to make me some videos, but I couldn't afford to keep paying them as I don't have much in terms of money.
I have made a few of my own videos showcasing some pve features and pvp content on my server. The first two videos I posted were one of my own and one of the videos I had made for my server. Brand new gmail account and brand new youtube channel to try and capitalise on new channel content being pushed by the algorithm. My video received nearly 1400 views, the video I had made received 1500. The following video received 256 views and after that my videos have been completely dead. 0 views, though I think I know at least partially why they are dead....

Cancelling Loaded Recipes (the second time).
Good evening, all.
I have a custom plugin on my server which serves as an 'item manager'. Part of this plugin's function is to override a few vanilla recipes, either disabling them or adjusting them.
Of course, when a server is started up for the first time, somewhere along the startup messages, we'll see this:...
Best dedi and software for my large scale towny/civ
I'm designing a large scale towny/civ and currently looking for the best software that'll push the most concurrent users while offering decent plugin support (so no multipaper). I will most likely be limiting mob spawns to our separate instanced based dungeons and will heavily throttle redstone. Currently looking into ShreddedPaper (1.20.6) and USpigot (1.21.4), and in need of a dedi (r9 9950x or 3d), preferably NA. Goal is 500 concurrent (if possible, more)
Any softwares better than ShreddedPaper? Any dedis cheaper than Pebblehost 250$?...

Can I allow bedrock players to only connect to certain servers behind velocity ?
Right now I have a velocity setup with a few servers behind it everything working fine.
Iβm gonna be adding some more servers and I want to allow bedrock players to only be able to connect to some servers but not others on the network.
Can geyser/floodgate do this with velocity ?...
