Minecraft server

Post by .=QUACK=.Major.Pain »

The kids run a minecraft server on our unmanaged server and now that we downgraded it, it runs not bad, but I see a lot of messages that the server can't keep up, etc.

I read either here or on your Facebook page that using SSD drives I think it was called improves the minecraft servers?

If so, how do we change the server if needed? This option doesn't appear to be available on unmanaged vds orders.

The SSD won't really help with that specific message, but will improve save times. If you'd like SSD space, submit a help request so we can check to see if there's SSD space at your location and then give you a coupon code for an upgrade.

Sure - we can give it a try. I know they mentioned that world saves pause the game for a bit whenever it happens. Might improve that.

Yes, it certainly might help with that message if you are low on memory, as you might see after a downgrade. I also recommend that you tweak MC to use a bit less memory itself, as this will give the system more to work with and improve its ability to cache. It seems counter-intuitive to give Java less, but it really does sometimes help.
