Frequently Asked Questions

Natural Progression server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Natural Progression – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Natural Progression consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
