    Do NOT use spongeforge. It broke so many things on my server it's not even funny. Server crashes, tps drops, the infamous armor bug, etc. Though it is easy to "un-sponge" (putting the old jar back, and the dimensions should be fine despite the way it splits them). Instead just use aikar's java arguments with some optimization mods
