Unplayable Server Lag

[Jonone242]

My server is, on occasion, nearly unplayable due to the extreme lag spikes since 1.16 came out. Dying has been way more common since people can't fight back against mobs and getting their stuff back is nearly impossible because they can't do it before the items despawn, and they often die to lag while trying to get their stuff back. As much as Minehut has been super helpful thus far in running my server, I simply cannot continue to use their service if this doesn't get fixed.

The reason I believe it to be a problem on Minehut's end is that I have no internet problems on any other servers or when browsing the internet, streaming, etc. Also, my server was almost completely lag-free before; but as soon as Minehut updated to 1.16, the immense lag spikes have been happening as often as every couple days, blotting out several hours in which the game simply cannot be played.

Huh, try checking logs to find any problems. If you don't know how to check logs, here's a quick tutorial:

 

How to check logs:

  Go to the File Manager by clicking the file manager button at the top right side of the panel

    -  Click on the folder called Logs

      -  Click on the file named latest.log

From here, you'll be able to access your servers' logs.

Having the exact same issue. It's up to like 15 sec spikes a minute. Happy to be safe at home with the door closed? Nope, you're still getting swarmed by the skeletons you JUST managed to outrun!

You could use the /timings command to see what the issue is.
Also /killall all is always great for clearing all entities
With /lag (use essentials) you can see amount of entities per world and tiles per world

What kind of problems should I be looking for?

Anything that looks out of ordinary or looks like it could be causing problems.
