Sapling Optimizer Documentation
Overview
Sapling Optimizer is a lightweight Paper 1.21+ performance plugin designed to automatically reduce server lag by dynamically optimizing entities, chunks, and visual effects based on real-time TPS.
It runs silently in the background and only activates when your server begins to experience performance drops, ensuring smooth gameplay without permanent changes to vanilla mechanics.
⚙️ How It Works
Sapling Optimizer continuously monitors server TPS (ticks per second). Based on performance, it switches between two modes:
Normal Mode (TPS ≥ 18)
Vanilla Minecraft behavior is fully preserved
No optimizations are applied
No gameplay interference
Optimization Mode (TPS < 18)
Automatically activates performance improvements:
Reduces entity processing load
Optimizes mob AI in distant chunks
Enables entity stacking system
Reduces particle overload
Improves chunk handling efficiency
Features
TPS Monitoring System
Real-time server performance tracking
Automatic switching between normal and optimized modes
Entity Optimization
Disables AI for mobs far from players
Reduces unnecessary entity ticking
Groups large amounts of identical entities into stacks
Example:
Bamboo [x300]
Chunk Optimization
Prevents unnecessary chunk processing
Reduces load from inactive areas
Improves overall server stability during high load
✨ Particle Optimization
Limits excessive particle effects during lag
Prevents visual overload from explosions and effects
Safety Design
Sapling Optimizer is built to ensure:
No impact on nearby players
No removal of important entities (bosses, NPCs)
No permanent gameplay changes
Fully safe for survival SMP servers
Commands
/sapling status
Displays current TPS and optimization state.
/sapling reload
Reloads the configuration file.
Requirements
Minecraft: 1.21+
Server: Paper or Paper fork
Java: 17+
Installation
Download the plugin .jar
Place it in your /plugins folder
Restart your server
Configure config.yml if needed
⚙️ Configuration
YAML
optimization:
tps-threshold: 18
entity-stacking:
enabled: true
particles:
reduce-on-lag: true
Performance Philosophy
Sapling Optimizer does NOT try to permanently change Minecraft. Instead, it:
“only intervenes when the server actually needs help”
This ensures:
Stable gameplay
Minimal interference
Maximum performance during stress
