Help with Minecraft Server Setup and Lag
Hey everyone! I’m kinda new to Minecraft servers when it comes to setting them up. I’m borrowing a server PC from a friend right now because renting a server from is kinda expensive, especially if you need a lot of RAM and a good cpu. I thought it was pretty fun, so I want to buy my own now. One of my admins helped me set up Ubuntu Server since he knows a lot about it, but he left my team, and now I’m basically alone trying to figure out how everything works. Recently, my server randomly stopped working, so I had to restart from scratch. I managed to fix almost everything (SSH setup, firewall ports, etc.), but when I tried installing the panel, I couldn’t get it to work.
I’ve been using Windows 11 and MCSS (because my friend recommended it), but we’ve been having a lot of lag issues. My friend thinks it’s related to datapacks, but when we ran it on Ubuntu, everything was fine. I listened to him and removed all datapacks, switching to only plugins, but we’re still getting serious TPS drops. We can’t even handle more than 12 players with just a few plugins without experiencing TPS issues, even though it’s not even using much CPU or RAM.
Is this related to using Windows 11, or could there be a virus or something corrupted with the server files? I’m honestly really confused about what to do. We have around 600 members on discord waiting for a release, and I’m not sure how to fix the lag. Should I set up Ubuntu again and start from scratch with the server files, just in case something’s wrong with them? Will getting a better CPU and RAM help improve performance? Any advice on how to fix the lag and set up a stable server would be very appreciated!
