Installing & Tuning a Purpur Minecraft Java Server // NodeFlux Docs

Step-by-step guide to deploying Purpur server software and applying aggressive performance tweaks for maximum TPS. ## Steps 1. Select Minecraft Java Edition plan during checkout and choose Purpur from the server software dropdown in the manager panel. 2. Start the server once to generate purpur.yml, paper-global.yml, and spigot.yml configuration files. 3. Stop the server and open purpur.yml in the panel File Manager or edit via SFTP. 4. Set lag-compensate-block-breaking: true and optimize entity tick rates under purpur.yml world settings. 5. In paper-world-defaults.yml, set view-distance to 6 and simulation-distance to 4 to significantly lower CPU tick times. 6. Restart the server and verify TPS performance using the in-game /tps or /spark command. ## Notes - Purpur is a drop-in replacement for Paper offering additional customization options and performance optimizations. - Lowering simulation distance from 10 to 4 reduces chunk processing loads by over 60%. ## Warning Over-aggressively reducing entity tracking range can cause mobs or item frames to pop into view unnaturally.
