I'm using vanilla server and i have problem with server lags, when i host 5 people (including me) they have terrible lags and can't play (i'm talking about 1.8.1) My internet speeds are: My specs are : Amd Phenom II 955 BOX 3.2Ghz X4 4Gb Ram i also think the server runs on 32bit java and not the 64 one, how can i fix this ? also i'm not sure the server uses All of my Resources... can i use bukkit to improve my performance ? all of the players i host are from my country.
Here is a useful tool. http://canihostaminecraftserver.com/ It suggests no more than 3 players for your upload speed.
Ok, if i use a bukkit server i may get better preformance? and what about using 64bit java?> and opening ports ?
