My bro and my friends and I play on a LAN server. We never have more than 4 people on at once, so I just host on my computer (6gb of RAM, 3GHz quad-core CPU, so that should be enough for 4 people) and that was always fine. After the 1.4 minecraft update, we had to update bukkit , and I hadn't updated anything in about 1 week. Suddenly, anyone else is fine with it, but me (the host) gets unplayable lag. Anyone know why this is happenning ? I've been using bukkit since very early on, and this happened when I first tried to host, but I fixed it. I can't remember how now. Here is the info that you say you need: OS:Windows 7 SP1 32 or 64 bit : 64 bit Java version:1.6.0_23 Wrappers: None Build of Craftbukkit: 670 (646-gb61ef8c-b670jnks (MC: 1.4)) What command are you using to start the server: Code: @echo off java -Xms512M -Xmx512M -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui pause Plugins: I've tried without any plugins, and still get the error, but atm I'm running: Craftbook ecoCreature iConomy LocalShops mcMMO Multiverse Permissions Towny Errors: No errors, just a lot of lag for the host. Thanks for the help! Arcaian
@Arcaian : 512MB RAM is pretty low for a minecraft server, use 1500MB if on 32bit java, more otherwise @andre_9796 : don't quote full posts if not necessary.
I'll put it at 2gb, that should be enough for 3 people, which is what is on at most of the time! Thanks for your help, I wouldn't have thought of this (I just copied that code from the tutorial AGES ago, and presumed it was still applicable) - thanks guys. EDIT: Thanks ! That worked. 2048 mb of RAM was enough, thanks heaps !
I'm still getting lag with 2gb of RAM, and I can run the normal minecraft server without any problems. I'm trying to get rid of the lag by running without plugins, but doesn't change anything. My computer's RAM use doesn't increase more than about 300-400mb past it's idle RAM use when I'm trying to run and play minecraft on a bukkit server.
