pTweaks
Hello,
Unfortunately, I have long lost interest in Minecraft and have no plans to update this plugin any further, so I highly suggest finding a replacement. It was a good run, but I think it's time to call it quits. We appreciate all the support over the years, and are truly grateful for it. Best of luck,
Cheers.

pTweaks is a server optimization tool. This plugin will redefine how your server loads, stores and manages chunks. pTweaks will prioritize chunk loading so the ones that need loaded get done first. When a large number of chunks are being loaded consecutively the plugin will start to unload unused chunks at a higher rate to keep performance on the server higher. pTweaks has a smart chunk loading algorithm so that chunks in a players surroundings stay loaded while under normal use so never again will you take a few steps and all the chunks start to unload behind you. pTweaks stops your server from using resources it doesn't have to use. pTweaks also adds mob handling. You are able to set limits of Monsters and Animals in each world. When things get out of hand pTweaks also offers a kill command to kill all living entities. pTweaks also offers a command to check your ram limits, performance, and allocations. pTweaks is an anti lag plugin.
Your server will be able to run longer, and smoother without the need of a restart. This being pTweaks already clears all unused data that would normally be removed with a server restart. Java dumps are already cleared and Chunks have a longer life span, meaning ram usage and CPU intensity will drop. Mob handling is now a possibility, enable or set the amount of mobs/animals spawning in your world(s) to massively drop resource usage, Limiting mobs is like turning down view distance improvement wise. Helps reduce performance therefor stopping lag.
The lifetime is how long the chunk is loaded into memory, and the prune is the cycle rate. Depending on your server size and CPU power you may want to customize these settings. Larger servers with more free ram may want to make prune higher to keep chunk loading and unloading from happening less often, while smaller servers may want to keep the default settings or make prune lower. The prune is the cycle of when all the unused chunks get unloaded. So having this higher makes more chunks stay loaded longer, while having it lower makes them unload faster. Both have benefits but generally i don't suggest editing it. SpawnChunkRadius is the static (initial) loading of chunks when a player joins your server, so the amount of chunks loaded around him, don't suggest editing this.
ChunkEdits:
ChunkEdits is a 100% customized chunk loading algorithm to enable quicker loading of chunks, and priority packets. So chunks load in a fashion better fitted for the player and the server. This algorithm isn't perfect, and currently being recoded.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Monster Limiter:
This is a fully custom feature. You can enable or disable this in the config. Limit the amount of Mobs or Animals spawning in your world, or disable spawning all together. Change if you want spawning in one world and not the other, you can also simply use the kill command to butcher all living mobs/animals in the current or all worlds. You can see all commands by typing /pTweaks in game.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Chunk Persistance:
This is a fully custom feature, that can be turned off in the config. This does a whole lot and is the main backbone of the plugin. Change how many chunks are loaded on player join or how long chunks stay loaded after people leave them. Makes chunks with no activity loaded at certain intervals to save tons of CPU power. The clear cycle is changed to make less disc writing. Chunks with lots of visitors will stay loaded longer, and not have to render again and again. This adding lots of performance to your server.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Ram Check:
Check the amount of ram being used, the free ram, and currently loaded ram. This gives you the ability to check server performance and debug bad plugins by seeing which are taking up the most resources by adding one and testing, adding another and using the command again. This command will soon also have TPS and other performance tracking abilities.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Packet Auto Save:
Instead of writing every chunk to the disc every 2 seconds. This changes it to a custom time that you want, Default is 50ms This saves the server from writing about 14KBps to the disc (10 writes, 3 reads per chunk, on a 3 person server). As well as saves about 2 calls to deflate every 2 seconds. (per chunk)
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
TNT Edit: (Suggested)
Basically all this does is after the first explosion, shadows the rest of them by duplicating the same explosion so the effects of say 500 TNT are the same as the effects of a single tnt block going off. This is not bullet proof, and it will still be possible to cause server lag by making the server render too many packets, but this is not possible unless doing thousands of blocks with a plugin like WorldEdit.

This command will bring up most ingame settings, and information. You can also enable or disable mob spawning from ingame.
/ram
Permission: pTweaks.ram
This will show current ram usable, and information

Please consider donating to help support development of this plugin!
Everything helps.
1) Cyberpwn $5
6.0 Officially accepted and released!
We do need new videos since the plugin has changed so much though.
If anyone is interested, please do make a video of 6.0+ ^^

There is a 1.4.7 version of anti-xray (Orebfuscator)
1.4.7 Orebfuscator Link:
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/orebfuscator/files/103-orebfuscator-1-8-5/
It's been there for about 2 days, but it wasn't listed because it was being reviewed by bukkit team and moderators
Orebfuscator Also REQUIRES PROTOCOLIB To work Optimal performance, also this is needed if you want to use nol*gg with it get it here
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/protocollib/
I use both nol*gg and PTweaks and they work really well!
Cheers :)
@codiaz
You don't need both. Use which ever you prefer i can't tell you which is better because it depends on your server. However using just this should be totally fine.
@mrchasez
Wow thanks man! Oh I also installed nolagg but can you tell me if it is good to uninstall it if I have yours because nolagg is making TNT waiting 10 hours to explode... and that is a desaster...But some guy on the internet told me this plugin was more for CPU/RAM idk and the other one was exactly the opposite so I had to keep them both, is this true?
@codiaz
Hmm. I can probably get a build up pretty easily. Ill see about doing that later.
@mrchasez
Euhm do you also have a 1.4.6 version because orbfuscator isn't up to date to 1.4.7 :(
@codiaz
DOWNLOAD V6.0 HERE
Can someone give me a link to 6.0 ptweaks? Can't find it (sorry to ask :P)
@mrchasez Great! Works perfectly with No*g And Orebfuscator
@mrchasez
I know sorry, but its updated xDDD
@joehot200
Mobs aren't that massive of a ram hog. So some small servers who want more mobs wouldn't be happy because the effects of mobs dont alter it to an extreme. So i don't think that would be the best move. ^^
@gertjan206
I don't really see any errors caused by PTweaks. However the 6.0 is for 1.4.7
i got this error with Ptweaks 6.0 here is the log: BTW: That WorldGuard error is fixed, the server start normal now but i still have the ptweaks error. Error Log
@mrchasez
Could you add a feature where less RAM = less mobs/chunks? e.g. the less RAM serer has, the less mobs are allowed in the world, the less longer chunks live, and the less often the world saves
@mrchasez :) XD!!! Been waiting so long for this Thanx!
After a month of work, and two pullbacks. V6.0 is released. This update is massive and changes pretty much everything about the plugin including all permissions and most commands. The features and configs are new so just delete the old folder, new settings and changed formats. Thanks for being so patient and waiting. Here is a build for 1.4.7:
DOWNLOAD V6.0 HERE
@Hulipill
20 mins max.
Will the new 6.0 work with 1.4.7
@dretax
Uhm.. thanks i suppose. The real 6.0 is finished and will be uploaded today. Need to make sure no more errors like before occur and it has to be pulled again.
Edit: Almost a year ago 0^0
@minecraft_pro_demon
Since 6.0 is not out, here is an unofficial dev.
@mrchasez
I fixed your hashmap mistakes too,and some other errors not just updated. At least it is on 1.4.6 :)

Also, just because i saw that you were using my plugin :) http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/automatically-world-saving/
The latest dev link is down. Also, will the update be released today or tomorrow?
