Frequently asked questions
How do I know if Very Many Players Mod is actually working on my server?
Check your server logs on startup for VMP's initialization messages, and watch your tick time and network stats as player count rises. If you see smoother tick times and reduced packet traffic compared to before, the mod is doing its job.
Do players need to install VMP on their client too?
No, VMP is a server-side mod, so vanilla clients and clients without the mod can still connect normally. You only need it installed on the server.
What does VMP actually change about how the server handles players?
Instead of sending individual player information for every player in an area, VMP segments the world into regions and optimizes nearby packet sending and player lookups. It also caches entity trackers so the server doesn't rebuild them constantly.
How do I enable per-player render distance in VMP?
VMP adds packet-level per-player render distance, which is controlled through its config rather than the vanilla server.properties. Set the relevant option in the VMP config file and reload or restart the server for it to take effect.
