How to Read LagGoggles Results and Turn Them Into Fixes

What the Numbers Mean

LagGoggles reports how much time each object spends ticking relative to everything else it sampled. Higher entries are consuming more of the server's tick budget. The values are comparative, not absolute — they tell you which of the things that were running during the run cost the most, not a fixed per-tick cost. That is why the same machine can rank differently depending on what else was active.

Interpreting Patterns

A long list of many similar entries points to a quantity problem: too many of one thing. A short list with one dominant entry points to a single expensive thing. Entries that only appear when you are near a specific build confirm a localized issue. Entries that appear everywhere suggest something global, like a mod's world tick handler or a widespread entity type.

From Diagnosis to Fix

Match the pattern to a remedy. Quantity problems are solved by reducing count — culling mobs, clearing items, or consolidating machines. Single-expensive-object problems are solved by redesigning or removing that one build. Localized problems are solved at that location. After each change, run the profiler again under the same conditions and compare the top entries. If your fix worked, the offending entry should drop or disappear. If it does not, the real cause is elsewhere and you should widen the scope of the next run.
