Optimization Tips

For FREE/LOW-SPEC servers (512 MB - 1 GB):

• Keep mode as AUTO or ULTRA_LIGHT
• Limit total plugins to 5-8
• Set view-distance to 4 in server.properties
• Use Paper instead of Spigot
• Limit players to 5-10 concurrent

For MID-RANGE servers (2-4 GB):

• Use AUTO or BALANCED mode
• Can run 10-15 plugins
• view-distance 6-8
• 15-25 players should be fine

For HIGH-END servers (4+ GB):

• Use AUTO or HIGH_PERFORMANCE mode
• No significant plugin limitations
• view-distance 10-12
• 25+ players supported

Performance

YoTPA is built with performance in mind:

• Lightweight - Minimal impact on server TPS
• Thread-Safe - No lag from concurrent operations
• Memory Efficient - Adapts to your server's resources automatically
• Async Operations - Non-blocking task execution
• Lock-Free - No race conditions or deadlocks

Installation

1. Download the latest JAR from the releases
2. Place the JAR in your server's plugins folder
