How to Fix The Server Can’t Keep Up Error in Minecraft
Many people like to set up various complex systems on their Minecraft server, from automated farms and machines to modded items and blocks. However, each of these activities running can take up some of the allocated memory on the server and may have a negative impact on server performance. As an extreme example, a large world with numerous redstone machines can overload a server, and cause crashes or intolerable lag. Understanding how these overloads can happen is one of the best ways to start optimizing your server. As server hosts, we obviously want you to have the best experience possible. In this guide, we’ll show you how to resolve the ‘Server Can’t Keep Up’ error in Minecraft.
What It Means
The “can’t keep up” console message indicates tick lag, which is caused by in-game activities. If you see that message, the server will most likely not meet the perfect TPS value. The lower value, the more lag you experience and the higher the value, the less lag you experience.
What May Cause It
Some of the causes of server overloads and tick lag include having too many mods installed, creating too many mod farms and grinders, having too many mobs and entities in the server, and having too many automatic machines in the world. Additionally, server settings related to entities, chunks, and redstone can also contribute to server overload.
Conclusion
Managing your server to prevent and resolve the ‘Server Can’t Keep Up’ error involves limiting farms, machines, and other entities, as well as tweaking the server settings to improve performance. By understanding the causes of server overloads and tick lag, you can ensure that players have a safe and reliable connection to the server without interruption caused by server performance issues.
