Sample Ticks Per Second

What is it?

Twenty times a second, the server "ticks". Every tick, the server moves entities, handles blocks and pretty much does everything Minecraft does. This is known as the TPS. Server side lag happens when a "tick" is doing a lot of work and is too much work to all happen in 1/20th of a second (50 milliseconds). If the server is taking longer than 50 milliseconds to complete a single tick, there will be less than 20 ticks within a second. You will begin to see block lag, entities moving slow, and more.

What is Ideal?

Perfect TPS is 20, however typically servers are never ALWAYS at 20 TPS. The idea is to ensure that the server does not feel laggy. Try to keep it above 17 or even 19.5 TPS.
