Reducing Lag
·
Sep 23, 2024
This guide will show you how to reduce lag on your Minecraft server by reducing your View Distance and/or Simulation Distance in the server.properties file.
View Distance sets the amount of world data the server sends the client, measured in chunks in each direction of the player (radius, not diameter). It determines the server-side viewing distance.
Simulation Distance sets the number of chunks that will run in-game processes (even if they’re not visible): load entities, grow crops, run automatic contraptions, etc.
10 is the default/recommended. If you have major lag, reduce this value.

Simply change it to any value between 3 (minimum) to 32 (maximum).
