PingTag officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.8. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with PingTag – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if PingTag consumes the most tick time.
