Profiling
The profiling module shows live performance metrics and helps you find out which plugins or mods are slowing your server down.
Live Metrics
The top of the profiling page always shows live performance metrics, updated as your server runs:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| TPS | Ticks per second - 20 means the server is keeping up |
| MSPT | Milliseconds per tick - how long a single tick takes |
| Memory | Current heap usage against the maximum |
| GC | Time spent on garbage collection |
| Threads | Number of active server threads |
| Entities | Total loaded entities across all worlds |
Finding Lag
When your server feels slow, you can record a profiling session to see exactly where the tick time goes. Pick a duration (30 seconds, a minute, two minutes, or until you stop it) and click Start. VoxelDash samples the server while it runs and builds a report.
The report has two parts:
- What's using the most time - a breakdown by plugin or mod, so you can spot the one that's eating your tick at a glance.
- Where the time goes - a call tree you can expand to drill into individual methods. Click a plugin in the breakdown to highlight where it spends its time in the tree.
The sampling profiler is available on Spigot, Paper, Fabric, and Forge. On vanilla servers, only the live metrics above are shown.
