See title. I don't want to reintroduce walking NPCs if they will cause lag by loading chunks. 😄

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

What is typically the laggy part about NPCs I should avoid then?

hard to say, if you are experiencing problems then

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.

Sorry for the wait, got side tracked

Am I right in saying Citizens is sync loading chunks?

When beginning pathfinding yes it will load required chunks

Shouldn't that happen async (?)

It could happen async, but currently it does not

Hmm ok, what should I do in the interim?

You don't necessarily have to do anything

past crescent Feb 25, 2025, 3:53 AM

(I assume this is a harder task, that'll be done later)

You could reduce the amount of pathfinding that occurs but that depends on how your setup is

I don't think its resolved though?

#

Shouldn't the sync chunk loading be made async

misty swan Mar 2, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

Not that simple. https://discord.com/channels/315163488085475337/1101906537812861089 tracks this if you want to wait there
