Server Optimization Tips for Mobile Hardware

Guide

Running a server on mobile hardware is different from running one on a dedicated desktop CPU. Here are our top tips to maximize TPS and eliminate tick lag:

1. Manage Your RAM Allocation

Keep between 8-10 chunks view distance on mobile for smooth gameplay without excessive memory pressure.

2. Optimize World Settings

Set simulation distance slightly lower than render distance to minimize entity tick overhead while preserving sightlines.

3. Plugin Management

Only install plugins you actively use and ensure they are compiled for PaperMC.
