ClearLag++:

The ClearLag++ plugin for Minecraft servers is a powerful tool for increasing server performance and comprehensively combating lag. It offers a variety of intelligent features to ensure smooth and stable operation.

Intelligent Entity Management

Automatic Cleanup:

Automatically removes dropped items and entities after a configurable time, with a visible countdown.

• Comprehensive Protection: Excludes named mobs, farmed mobs, and mobs with a scoreboard tag from being cleaned up.
• After-Death & Recent-Activity Protection: Protects death drops and items dropped near players for a configurable duration.
• Smart Stacking: Merges items beyond the normal 64 limit and groups non-stackable items (like potions) to keep entity counts low.
• Clean-up Effects: Adds configurable particles and sounds when entities are cleared to make the process feel seamless.

Targeted Removal:

Administrators can selectively remove hostile, passive, or all mobs using /clearlag killmobs or /clearlag nuke.

Advanced Performance Optimizations

Redstone & Physics Optimization:

Limits the update rate of redstone components and prevents lag from mass falling-block events (sand/gravel) or piston-heavy contraptions.

Entity & Tile Entity Limiter:

Sets strict limits for Item Frames, Armor Stands, Vehicles, Projectiles, and Tile Entities (Hoppers, Chests, Spawners) per chunk and globally.

Mob Spawn & Breeding Limiter:

Controls the natural spawn rate and prevents breeding lag by limiting the number of animals per chunk.

AI Optimization for Mobs:

Reduces processor load by throttling or removing the AI of mobs that are far from players.

Environmental & Connection Control:

Throttles fire spread, liquid flow, and portal usage. Includes a Packet Rate Limiter (ProtocolLib) to stop network-based lag.

Monitoring, Diagnostics, and Dynamic Control

Performance Metrics & Monitoring:

Provides real-time statistics on TPS, MSPT, CPU utilization, and RAM usage. Includes a BossBar Performance Meter for live monitoring.

Dynamic View Distance:

Automatically scales server-wide view distance and simulation distance based on real-time TPS and player activity.

Performance Alerts & Snapshots:

Notifies administrators and automatically saves Lag Snapshots (detailed reports) when performance spikes or falls below thresholds.

Diagnostic Tools:

The Chunk Scanner identifies chunks with high entity counts, while the Lag Profiler highlights performance bottlenecks.

Multi-World & Time Support:

Features Per-World Profiles and Time-Based Rules allowing for unique settings during day, night, or event modes.

Comprehensive Integration:

Full native support for LuckPerms, Discord webhooks, PlaceholderAPI, and third-party plugins like MythicMobs, EliteMobs, Nexo, Oraxen, Citizens, and more.
