MC-Eternal-Server-Tips
Eternal server side configs, etc
Most of these are tested on 1.3.7.1, however should mostly work on 1.4.x
--- Recommended things ---
Disable spike_creative:
in \config\extrautils2.cfg
B:spike_creative=false
Disable giant chance cube things:
in config\ChanceCubes\chancecubes.cfg
giant chance cube rewards" {
B:"chancecubes:Chunk_Flip"=false
the main horrible one is chunk_flip.. but disable other ones if you dont like them.
Remove deaths for named entities:
Disable this config in config\cofh\core\common.cfg
B:EnableGenericDeathMessage=true
Added server side mods:
chunkgenlimiter-1.1.jar (this will limit lag from exploration)
worldprimer-1.12.2-??.jar (I use for repeating commands automatically on a timer)
forgeautoshutdown-1.12.2-1.0.0.jar (Shut down server on timer, you need a startup wrapper like the windows one below to start it again though)
spark-forge (performance profiling)
labgonreborn (I use for chunk lag, clears unused chunks on time interval)
unloader-1.2.0 (this unloads dimensions that arent used on timed interval)
Settings for mods:
chunkgenlimiter:
leave as-is
worldprimer:
add this for auto-icbmc gravity block entity removal every hour
S:timedCommands <
worldprimer-timed-command %120000 0 say ICBMC gravity blocks cleared.
worldprimer-timed-command %120000 0 icbmc remove all
forgeautoshutdown
S:Kick=Scheduled server restart
S:Warn=Server is restarting in %m minute(s).
I:Hour=6
(You can change the hour/minutes to whatever you prefer)
lagbgonreborn
B:AutomaticRemoval=false
I:Interval=60
I:TPSForUnload=15
I:Unload=15
unloader
leave as default
Server.Properties
Set server view distance to 7
appliedenergistics2.cfg
I:craftingCalculationTimePerTick=1
-- Useful commands --
/chunks unload_everything, resets all loaded chunks by players
/forge entity list, shows entities in that world
/mc remove colony: 1 , it needs the space between colony: and 1, it will remove colony #1
/bgon unload , /bgon automatic
/icbmc remove all , gets rid of icbm entity lag that seems to pop up now and then.
/cofh tps 0
For live ingame display of TPS for all dimensions and other interesting data, use tool called "chunk-pregenerator". To enable, go to Options Gui in Controls.
set the hotkey for that, open it up, there will be a TrackerUI options, click that, and also click "enable Tracker Gui". You need to be opped to see info I believe.
Fixes from #tips for 1.3.7.1 I dont know if these are needed for 1.4

-- Wrapper script for windows server --
Add this in a .bat file, use to launch server. It will start server if server is stopped or crashed. Java args can be whatever you prefer.
@echo off
cls
echo This script will keep your server running even after crashing!

echo (%time%) Server closed/crashed... restarting!
goto StartServer
pause
You can also go a step further and use windows task scheduler to auto-start this .bat if the physical/vm server reboots for any reason
--- Try these things if you have problems or like to tinker, these are mostly black magic ---
No more fast leaf decay or messages:
delete fastleafdecay jar from \mods)
Disable Biliocraft bookshelf:
\config\bibliocraft.cfg , B:Bookcase=false
Change forge.cfg, dimension unload
clumpingThreshold=128
I:dimensionUnloadQueueDelay=5
Change forgechunkload.cfg
I:maximumChunksPerTicket=75
I:maximumTicketCount=350
I:playerTicketCount=600
--- These are from official discord, I have not tested all of them. I have heard using spongeforge can create new issues ---
