Quick overview of each config option
splitTickDistance controls whether you want to have a separate tick distance from your render distance
tickDistance controls your normal tick distance if splitTickDistance is enabled
itemDespawnTicks controls the number of ticks an item entity will take to despawn after being dropped. Vanilla is 6000 ticks
dynamicTickDistance controls whether the tick distance should fluctuate between tickDistance and minTickDistance depending on server MSPT
minTickDistance controls the minimum value the tick distance will be if `dynamicTickDistance
is enabled
dynamicRenderDistance controls whether the render distance should fluctuate between minRenderDistance and maxRenderDistance depending on server MSPT
minRenderDistance controls the minimum render distance when dynamicRenderDistance is enabled
maxRenderDistance controls the maximum render distance when dynamicRenderDistance is enabled
targetMSPT is the MSPT that the server will reduce the render distance to try and achieve, when dynamic render distance is enabled

TickTools server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric 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 (1.17.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is TickTools compatible with fabric?
TickTools officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.17.1, 1.17. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with TickTools – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if TickTools 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.
