LessLag

LessLag is a performance optimization plugin for Minecraft servers that reduces lag automatically by controlling worlds, entities, redstone, mob AI, and much more. Designed to keep TPS high without sacrificing gameplay.

💡 About

LessLag dynamically monitors server performance and automatically disables or throttles lag-inducing features.
From unloading inactive worlds to merging dropped items, disabling redstone during TPS drops, and controlling entity AI—LessLag keeps your server smooth with minimal change of vanilla features.

Requires Protocol Lib to work!
