Yatopia VS Airplane

AlynaaMC is a mix of JettPack, Pufferfish, Paper and Yatopia (and you might want to read this, by the way, TL;DR: Yatopia is a buggy and unstable fork that is not even continued anymore)... Also, JettPack is just a playground for his dev so you definitely shouldn't use it at all.

Benchmarking server software is kinda difficult, and it really depends on what situation your server is running in. But an example is that our collision patches are MUCH faster than airplane and other forks (see here https://github.com/YatopiaMC/Yatopia/pull/458). But how our optimizations add up to affect your server really depends on a server-by-server basis. A standardized testing framework for server softwares is really needed!!

If you really need optimization and desperately crave performance, you can check out Yatopia. It's a really fast fork of Purpur (meaning it has Paper, Tuinity, Airplane and Purpur, and its own features), however it's a little bit less stable. Some people had issues with it, although I've never run into any.

If you want pure performance then use Yatopia which is a fork of many other server software like Paper, Purpur, Tuinity, Airplane, Origami, Akarin, EMC, and mods like Lithium. Also use this guide [GUIDE] Server Optimization⚡ | SpigotMC - High Performance Minecraft.

That’s a very detailed thread OP! I also suggest another server software called Yatopia MC, which is a fork (or flavour) of Tunity, but includes in a build of Purpur and the performance fixes of Paper. All plugins that work with Bukkit and his forks (Spigot, Paper etc.) will also work on Yatopia MC: and the best part? It includes optimisation mods like Starlight and other chunk loading efficiency mods. I recommend to see their GitHub if you feel a little bit Geeky and want to know the features of this server software!

Right this is what you need to know: For 100 players you are going to need to have pretty decent specs, depending on your budget. For cheap but quality hosting look here WitherHosting and select the plan you can afford. From there you are going to need some optimised software. I would recommend something like Tunity or even YatopiaMC (this is what I use, Yatopia - Blazing-fast Minecraft. (yatopiamc.org) ). Once you have this, to allow everyone to join (bedrock and java) you are going to need to install GeyserMC (a bridge to allow bedrock players to join). From there also install Floodgate to allow bedrock players to connect without buying a java edition account. This may all seem very complex, but just look up a video on Youtube and you will find one thats easy to follow.

If you are really desperate for better performance, I suggest trying out Yatopia. It contains however more drastic optimizations that can noticeably change game behavior.

Purpur includes Airplane, when is great for lag because it dynamically limits how much entities "think" or make decisions based on how far they are from players through a feature called D.E.A.R. Regardless of the choice you make, here is a great guide with a bunch of config changes which greatly improves server performance (and explains what each one does)! Wish you all the best with your server!

Try using this guide and also use a paper fork like purpur or airplane. You can also use these premade performance configs.

If you need even more performance, you may want to look into https://airplane.gg.

Use software like paper or airplane or purpur. All derivatives of each other. Paper is a fork of spigot with preformance improvements and bug patches. Airplane is a fork of paper with minor preformance improvements. Purpur is a upstream of Paper and airplane adding various customizations. Use aikar's flags. DO NOT use optimization plugins, they tend to only make things worse. Pre generate your map, but this has the downside of terrain being stuck through generation changes like 1.18.

What i would recommend doing is finding an old laptop or pc that isnt going to be used, and hook it up to ethernet. Then grab a server jar like Paper, and fire it up. Paper is going to be recommended in this case, since you are using not the best hardware. i run my servers off of old pcs (Intel Core i5-4950T @ 2GHz, 16GB DDR3 SDRAM, and 256GB SSD) use Airplane and haven't seen any lag so far. If that's not possible, then find a paid third party hoster like Pebblehost and use that instead

Look into different server software. Vanilla will start lagging when there are more than 10 players at a time. Use Airplane or Purpur in this case. Figure out what plugins you want and learn how to install and configure plugins

Just be sure to get airplane-purpur as it's way more performant than purpur. You can get it at https://airplane.gg -> Downloads -> Purpur. I use it for my small 2 GB server with 2 cores and its runs buttery smoother with 6 players and a render distance of 16

Actually try Paper instead of spigot. Paper is a fork of Spigot which focuses on high performance and bug fixes. And usually runs faster than Spigot. If you rlly need something to run faster than Paper, Tuinity or Airplane will work
