⚡ better-tps — Adaptive Performance Stabilizer for Paper/Spigot
better-tps is a lightweight, intelligent performance optimization plugin built for modern Paper/Spigot servers.
Instead of permanently limiting gameplay features, better-tps dynamically adapts to real server load and only applies optimizations when TPS actually begins to drop.
Designed for stability, responsiveness, and minimal gameplay impact.
🚀 Adaptive TPS Optimization
Continuously monitors server performance using both Spigot TPS readings and high-precision scheduler estimates
Rapid lag detection allows faster stabilization before severe TPS drops occur
Smart adaptive logic prevents unnecessary restrictions during normal gameplay
Spoiler
📊 Dynamic Performance Profiles
Automatically switches between Normal, Mild, Moderate, and Aggressive optimization profiles
Profiles scale server-side optimizations based on current load conditions
Smooth transitions minimize gameplay disruption while maintaining stability
⚙️ Real-Time Server Tuning
Dynamically adjusts view distance and simulation distance
Controls random tick speed during heavy load
Automatically manages entity spawn limits to reduce lag spikes
All tuning changes happen live without requiring restarts
🌍 Flexible World Management
Supports blacklist and whitelist world targeting
Apply optimizations only to selected worlds
Perfect for separating survival, lobby, minigame, or resource worlds
🚨 Emergency Stabilization System
Built-in emergency guardrails instantly activate aggressive protections during critical TPS drops
Helps prevent cascading lag and server crashes
Automatically restores normal settings once performance recovers
🛠️ Administrative Controls
Enable or disable automatic stabilization anytime
Manually override active optimization profiles
View live server performance data directly in-game
Reload configuration without restarting the server
