Reduce Server Lag from Chunk Saving
Why Chunks Cause Lag Spikes
When you play Minecraft, the server periodically saves all loaded chunks to disk. If many chunks save at once, your server freezes momentarily—this is a lagspike. Smooth Chunk Save Mod spreads these saves across time instead.
How It Works
With this mod installed, chunks save gradually in the background rather than in one burst. You'll notice:
- Smoother gameplay during autosave intervals
- No sudden freezes when the server writes data
- Better performance on servers with many players
- Single-player worlds also benefit (they run an integrated server)
What You Need to Do
Once the mod is installed, it works automatically—there's nothing to configure for basic use. The mod handles chunk saving in the background without requiring commands or settings changes. Simply play normally and experience fewer lagspikes during saves.
If your server still has lag issues, ensure the mod is installed on the server (not just your client). For single-player, the mod applies to your integrated server automatically.
