Understanding TPS

TPS (Ticks Per Second) measures how many game ticks your server processes each second.

20 TPS is ideal - This means one tick every 50ms, providing smooth gameplay.

Below 18 TPS - Players experience noticeable lag, delayed actions, and stuttering.

Each tick processes player movement, entity AI, block updates, redstone, and more. Lower TPS means everything runs slower.

Optimizing Hytale Server TPS

What Affects TPS?

  • Player Count: More players = more entities, chunks, and processing
  • View Distance: Exponentially increases loaded chunks and memory usage
  • Entities: Mobs, animals, items need AI and physics calculations
  • Plugins: Each plugin adds overhead, some poorly optimized
  • Redstone: Complex circuits can significantly impact performance
  • World Size: Larger worlds take longer to process and save

How to Improve TPS

  • Reduce View Distance: Drop from 10 to 8 chunks for better performance
  • Limit Entities: Use entity limits and clear dropped items regularly
  • Optimize Plugins: Remove unused plugins and use lightweight alternatives
  • Upgrade Hardware: More CPU cores and RAM = better TPS
  • Use Optimized Server: Paper, Purpur provide better performance than vanilla
  • Pre-generate Worlds: Avoid generation lag during gameplay

TPS vs MSPT (Milliseconds Per Tick)

While TPS shows how many ticks per second, MSPT shows how long each tick takes:

  • • 20 TPS = 50 MSPT - Perfect performance
  • • Below 50 MSPT - Server has spare performance capacity
  • • Above 50 MSPT - Server is struggling, TPS will drop
  • • Above 100 MSPT - Severe lag, TPS below 10
