Hi! First post here, so I hope it's the right place.

So I want to set up a server with a few mods with my friends. The problem with that is that when I punch a mob (any mob, animals, monsters) they're REALLY lagged. I punch a pig, and instead of it going around smoothly, it feels like it teleports a few blocks.

 

What could I do to solve this? I only have 2.5 GB available for the server itself, if it matters.

 

Thanks you!

This is usually nothing related to ram, it's processing power itself. Due to some design factors of Minecraft it's not exactly efficient.

You'll need to see about either trimming down what the server is doing {lowering the number of mods} or Giving it more processing power.

Try a profiler like visualvm to tell you where the lags coming from.

Thanks for answering, and sorry for the late reply.

 

I tried simply using FML alone, without any mods installed in the server, and the exact same thing happens. And thank you for suggesting VisualVM, I am going to read some guides on how to use it, although independently of what the problem is I probably won't be able to add a better processing power/graphics
