Optimize Performance on a Multiplayer Server
Why Servers Need This Mod
Multiplayer servers with several players generate chunks constantly. When autosave triggers, the server saves dozens or hundreds of chunks simultaneously, causing everyone to lag. Smooth Chunk Save Mod prevents this by distributing saves over time.
Server-Side Installation
This mod must be installed on the server itself, not just on client machines. Add it to your server's mods folder and restart. Once active, chunk saving becomes continuous rather than periodic.
What Players Will Notice
- Gameplay remains smooth during autosave intervals
- No more synchronized lagspikes affecting all players
- Better responsiveness during peak activity
- Reduced server strain on disk I/O
Verification
After installing, play normally and observe autosave moments (usually every 30 seconds by default). If the mod is working, you should see no noticeable freeze. If you still experience lagspikes, confirm the mod is in your server's mods folder and the server has restarted.
