How to install Server Optimization
Modrinth distributes the pack as an .mrpack file. Convert it to a .zip with the Modrinth Pack to Zip Converter, then set up the server from the result. If you have not handled Modrinth packs before, how to install a modpack covers the general steps.
Java and flags
Use these two settings.
- Java runtime: Eclipse Temurin 25.
- Flags: -XX:+UseZGC -XX:+UseCompactObjectHeaders
Pregenerate chunks to prevent lag
Players exploring new terrain is a common cause of lag, so the pack's author recommends generating chunks ahead of time with Chunky. Pick the world, set a radius, then start the task. The examples below use the overworld and a 5000 block radius.
- 1.Select the world with /chunky world minecraft:overworld
- 2.Set the radius with /chunky radius 5000
- 3.Start pregeneration with /chunky start
What you get and what you give up
The appeal is focus. The pack holds optimization mods and no other content. Settings arrive pre-configured, which saves tuning time on a fresh setup.
Questions about Server Optimization.
4 questions
Do players need to install Server Optimization?
No. The pack is required on the server and unsupported on the player's side, so only the server owner installs it. It is a lightweight modpack made up of optimization mods and nothing else, with pre-configured settings, published by wicivo on Modrinth. It used to be called WingServer.
Which Java flags does Server Optimization use?
The pack's author recommends Eclipse Temurin 25 with the flags -XX:+UseZGC -XX:+UseCompactObjectHeaders. The author also points to an article for more details on these settings. Chunk pregeneration with Chunky is a separate recommendation to prevent lag caused by players generating chunks.
How do I install Server Optimization?
Download the .mrpack from Modrinth, then convert it to a .zip with the Modrinth Pack to Zip Converter. That conversion is the route the author describes for server use. Launchers such as the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher can also import .mrpack files.
What was Server Optimization called before?
It used to be called WingServer. The Modrinth summary says so directly, and the project is still published by wicivo.
