What Is Minecraft Server TPS?

If a server is running under 20 tps, this means the ticks are delayed, and you’ll start to feel it when playing. For example, you make mined a block, and then need to wait a few moments for the server to realize it’s been mined.

It’s not just block mining that a low tps will impact, but all factors of the game. Such as furnace smelting times, crops growth, mobs, etc

Why Do I Have Low TPS?

Low tps is most common in modded, but can also be an issue in non-modded, and can be caused by a number of factors.

In base Minecraft lots of hoppers, droppers, and big Redstone contraptions can all cause tps issues. Along with lots of ground items, or mobs

In modded, tps issues can be caused by poorly coded mods and mods that increase the factors listed above.
