#paper

Choose Paper for plugins, Fabric or NeoForge/Forge for mods, Vanilla Bedrock for Bedrock players and Velocity for networks. Switch any time in the Versions tab (Bedrock: Change Egg).

Plugins tab → Browse Plugins → pick a platform (Modrinth, CurseForge, Hangar or SpigotMC) → search → Install → restart. Or upload any plugin .jar to the plugins folder in Files.

First work out which lag you have: low TPS (server), high ping (network) or low FPS (your PC). Then measure with spark and fix the real cause instead of hiding it.

A few safe changes to view distance, simulation distance, entity and item settings make a big difference. Change one thing at a time and measure with spark.
