My Paper 1.16.5 Minecraft server ran extremely smoothly at the beginning and all chunks loaded. Now after 5 days, it is getting slower and is now only at 9 TPS. Although the number of players has not changed. The speed with which the players move or that has not increased either. Can I fix this somehow?
What operating system is the server running on and what else is running on this server?
There's still a Docker container and Apache2 running on it. The use of these two things (i.e. The website) was not increased either. The operating system is Ubuntu 20.04
How many players are there on the server. Is the world limited by a border?
No. No world border and players are always between 3 and 8
Is the server slow when all (8) are on it or even if only 2-3 people are on it. Which OS do you use and do you have plugins installed on the server.
15 plugins and the server is extremely slow when there are 5+ players on it. On the first day it was still easy when I was 10.
I would just take the web server offline for a short time to test it and see if it gets better.
That could be due to a lot. Is the server bigger? So that you might have competition that could attack you? Can also be due to the Internet connection. What is your system utilization like? Especially RAM and such. Or maybe you used a different start command when updating to a new version, so that the server now runs with only 1GB or something?
So it's a relatively large project that's going on. We have 7,000 people on our Discord server and also competition but we actually have DDos prot. From Cloudflare and you can't actually find out the IP that's why I didn't think it was an attack but thanks for the tip I'll have a look at it
How does it look CPU-mediocre? Has the CPU usage of the Minecraft server increased significantly? If so, it could be that the Java heap is busy, so you should increase it if the server does not have sufficient RAM reserves
