Server Lag on my own host

[alexb75000]

i am playing direwolf20's server and i have been hosting it for me and my friends to play on it. me being the host have experienced lag like breaking a block then it reappearing and basically mobs teleporting ect. i have seen something about making a custom bat file to start my server or something but i dont understand how to do that. if someone could explain to me how to do that please do! thanks

Please post your cpu model number, the ram in your server, if you are running the server and client on the same computer
and run in the terminal (mac/linux) or command prompt(windows)

java -version

i am running the server on the same computer i am playing on and i have half gb of ram in the server and im do not know what my cpu model number is, how would i find it?

the base ram you want for a modded server is 2 gig
you will want 4 gig or more to play smoothly with client and server on same computer

To find cpu model
assuming windows
start menu -> right click on computer -> properties

if you need mac instructions I will need to go turn it on

Sorry, but with that hardware I don't think there's anything I can do
Minecraft is vary memory intensive, especialy when you mod it

how do i add more ram to the server because direwolf20's start bat you sturn the server on is weird. it looks like this.



java -Xms512M -Xmx1G -jar direwolf20.jar

 

[glasspelican]

-Xms controls the minimum amount of available ram dedicated to the server
-Xmx controls the Max ram the server can use

so you have
java //program to use to run the jar
-Xms512M // minimum ram for server 512 Meg
-Xmx1G // Max ram allowed for server to use 1 Gig
-jar direwolf20.jar // the executable file to launch

But those options wont help if the computer only has 1/2 of a gig of ram.
If all the ram gets used up the computer will try to use your hard-drive to fill in the gaps.
