Learn how to generate and analyze a timings report to monitor and optimize your Minecraft server's performance using Beacon Hosting services.
How to Create and View a Timings Report
A timings report is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying performance bottlenecks on your Minecraft server. It collects data over time and highlights plugins or operations that may be causing lag.
Generating a Timings Report
To generate a timings report:
- Access your Minecraft server console via the Beacon Hosting control panel or join the game with operator privileges.
- Type the command:
/timings on
This begins recording performance data. 3. Let the server run during regular player activity for at least 5–15 minutes. 4. Type the command:
/timings paste
This ends recording and generates a report URL.
- Copy the generated URL and open it in a web browser to view the full timings report.
Reading the Timings Report
The report includes:
- TPS (Ticks Per Second): A consistent 20 TPS is ideal.
- Lag Sources: High server tick time or specific plugin activity is highlighted.
- Event timings: Breakdown of plugin events and execution durations.
Focus on any tasks/plugins consuming an unusually high percentage of tick time.
[INFO] Consider removing or reconfiguring plugins causing excessive lag. Beacon Hosting support can assist with plugin audits.
