Spark
How to provide a Spark sampler.

1. Stop your server.
2. Download Spark: https://modrinth.com/mod/spark/versions
3. Upload the mod to your server:
   Filemanager > mods (for modded servers)
   or Filemanager > plugins (for plugin based servers)
   (Just drag & drop the file)
4. Start the server.
5. Use the command /spark sampler
6. Wait 10-15 minutes.
7. Use the command /spark sampler --stop

What does this do I have spark and just ran it?

[rapid raven]

It will monitor your server and identify what is causing lag and what is taking up the most resources

[gusty relic]

Gotcha then we look at that and figure out what the issue is.

Thanks for the help so far

after 15 mins Use the command /spark sampler --stop this will generate a web link, you can use this to see what is taking up lag

Ok so you have a similar issue to what i had a bit ago, you have a lot of entities 1294 total, I recommend installing a mod that allows you to limit these

[gusty relic]

Any suggested mod?

[rapid raven]

Are you using forge?

[gusty relic]

I am I am

Minecraft 1.20.1

I bricked my server last night trying to fix this issue XDD

[rapid raven]

ok i recommend incontrol https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/in-control/files/all?page=1&pageSize=20&version=1.20.1

[gusty relic]

does that let me set an ammount im guessing

[rapid raven]

yea you can straight up not allow mobs to spawn or limit the spawn amount to zombies for example to 5

[gusty relic]

Intresting

and that should work for the modded entitys too?

[rapid raven]

yup works for every entity

[gusty relic]

Gonna throw it on the server on the next restart in 20 minutes

[gusty relic]

Alrighty Booting the server up with the mod installed now

Server is up!

[rapid raven]

Just a note, this mod requires you to manually add the mod ids into the config file, here is a tutorial on how to do that https://www.mcjty.eu/docs/mods/control-mods/control-mods-20#spawn-prevent-too-many-zombies

Little lost

so do I have to Manually add the modded creatures to the mod

[rapid raven]

yes

[gusty relic]

This ones gonna confuse me XD sorry Haven't messed with this yet.

[rapid raven]

here is an example pretty simple when you look at it

in the spawn file

[gusty relic]

intresting

how di I find the IDs for the modded creatures

[rapid raven]

on your spark report you can copy the mod ids here or, in game do F3+h and when looking at a spawn egg or at a mob it will tell the mobs id

[gusty relic]

intresting

so

What I should do is when my server gets bogged down

look at the spark report write down the IDS of the one that are real bad on spark and put them into In control

[rapid raven]

Yea you can do that, thats what i do, or you can just start adding mobs 1 by 1 by looking at the spawn eggs and just set a limit on them all

[gusty relic]

noted noted

[gusty relic]

any other bit of advice?
