Hey, I've been using Citizens for many years and have now tried out a newer option: placing NPCs with a top score.

I have placed 9 NPCs that have been given the placeholder of a top score as their name and the same as their skin.

As soon as I have placed these 9 NPCs and load the chunk, I get temporary mini-lag in the form of FPS drops.

Previously stable 144 FPS with 74 updates, as soon as I look at the NPCs 2-16 FPS (in between) with 0 updates

Is there a possible explanation for this?

Info: spark

The "timings" system within Spigot/Paper is incredibly inaccurate for use with Citizens, and cannot be used to diagnose any issues related to Citizens. It notably blames Citizens for a significant amount of entity-related lag (that isn't in any way caused by Citizens).

For accurate timings, you need a Java profiler. There are a variety of profiler options (WarmRoast, YourKit, VisualVM, ...), but the simplest to use on a Spigot server is a plugin named "Spark" that embeds WarmRoast, which you can find here: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/spark.57242/.

To get a spark report, type /spark profiler start, then replicate lag issues (for no more than about a minute), then /spark profiler stop, and post the link it gives you.

EDIT:

is caused of the updating of the names of the citizens, disabled them by /npc name and replaced them with an hologram, works fine.

spark report didnt reports anything big, cause its only client based

#

citizens performance has been by 0.6%, thats been really great, also in times of fps drops
