Paper/Purpur Performance Tweaks
Advanced optimization settings and tweaks for Paper and Purpur Minecraft servers to improve performance.
What are Paper and Purpur?
Paper and Purpur are optimized forks of Spigot that provide significant performance improvements over vanilla Minecraft servers. They include many optimizations and configuration options to fine-tune server performance.
Performance Benefits: Paper and Purpur can improve TPS by 20-50% compared to vanilla servers, with better chunk loading, entity processing, and reduced lag.
Essential Configuration Files
paper.yml (Paper Server)
The main configuration file for Paper servers. Located in your server directory.
purpur.yml (Purpur Server)
Similar to paper.yml but with additional Purpur-specific optimizations and features.

/timings reportBest Practices
1. Start Conservative
Begin with conservative settings and gradually increase optimizations while monitoring performance.
2. Test Changes
Always test configuration changes on a backup server before applying to production.
3. Monitor Performance
Continuously monitor TPS, memory usage, and player experience after making changes.
4. Keep Updated
Regularly update Paper/Purpur to get the latest performance improvements and bug fixes.
