How to Monitor Server Performance and Network Stability

Lag spikes and low server tick rates can heavily impact PvP timing and movement. Nova Patched Client Mod provides built-in server utilities, network tools, and HUD readouts so you can tell whether lag is coming from your connection, your hardware, or the server itself.

Enabling Performance Readouts on the HUD

1. Join a server and press Right Shift to open the client menu.

2. Go to the customizable HUD options and enable the following trackers:

• Ping: Shows the connection latency between your client and the server.
• TPS (Ticks Per Second): Displays how smoothly the server itself is running (vanilla Minecraft normally runs at a steady tick rate; drops indicate server-side lag).
• FPS: Tracks your local client frame rate.

3. Use the built-in HUD editor to group these three readouts together on your screen, then resize them so they remain unobtrusive.

Using Server and Network Tools

Beyond basic HUD numbers, look inside the Right Shift menu for the dedicated server utilities and network tools. Activate these tools when joining unfamiliar multiplayer servers to actively monitor network performance. Checking your Ping and the server's TPS before starting a fight lets you know if your combat modules and AutoTotem will register cleanly with the server.
