DynPlay
DynPlay is a server-side mod that adjusts the maximum allowed player count based on CPU load and allows you to change the max player amount without restarting the server.
About this Mod
DynPlay is a mod that dynamically adjusts the server’s maximum player capacity
It is designed to keep servers stable under varying conditions by preventing overload while still allowing as many players as the hardware can handle.
DynPlay checks the CPU usage at a configurable interval and raises or lowers the player limit in real time without requiring a server restart. Server owners can define manual CPU-to-player thresholds in the configuration file or rely on the automatic logarithmic scaling system. Administrators with permission level 3 or higher can always join even when the server is at its dynamic limit.
The mod includes an in-game command system that allows operators to pause the dynamic adjustments, set a fixed player limit, or return to automatic mode. Configuration is handled through the dynplay-server.toml file, where update intervals, thresholds, and admin rules can be customized.

DynPlay server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong neoforge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is DynPlay compatible with neoforge?
DynPlay officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with DynPlay – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if DynPlay consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
