Hytale Reduce lag and prevent crashes on your Hytale server by installing the Performance Saver plugin.
What Performance Saver Does
Hytale server performance varies heavily based on player behavior. A few players exploring in different directions can consume significantly more resources than a large group staying together. This plugin monitors your server and automatically adjusts settings when resources get tight.
Key features:
- TPS stabilization - Caps server TPS at 20 (or 5 when empty) for smoother, more consistent performance
- Dynamic view radius - Temporarily reduces view distance when CPU or memory is under pressure, then restores it when things calm down
- Smarter memory management - Triggers garbage collection when chunks unload, freeing memory that Java would otherwise hold onto
The result: fewer crashes, less lag, and a playable experience even when resource usage spikes.
Install the Plugin
- Download the latest release from the Performance Saver GitHub releases page (v1.0.0 as of this writing)
- Upload the
.jarfile to your server’smods/folder - see How to Add Mods if you need help with this step - Restart your server
The plugin works immediately with sensible defaults. No configuration required.
Configuration (Optional)
Most servers won’t need to change anything, but if you want to tweak the behavior, the plugin creates a config.json file in its folder after first run.
A few settings you might adjust:
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
TpsLimit | 20 | Maximum TPS when players are online |
TpsLimitEmpty | 5 | TPS when no players are connected (saves resources) |
MinViewRadius | 2 | Lowest view radius the plugin will reduce to under pressure |
If players mention view distance dropping too aggressively during busy moments, you can raise MinViewRadius - though this trades crash prevention for visibility.
See the full configuration reference on GitHub for all available options.
Frequently Asked Questions
No - the default settings work well for most servers. The plugin adjusts automatically based on your server's resource usage.
During high load, view distance may temporarily decrease. This prevents crashes and keeps the game playable.
