Game Tick
A game tick is a single cycle of Minecraft’s game loop, where the game updates actions, events, and mechanics like movement, block changes, and redstone.
Tick Rate
Controls how often entities (like mobs, items, and projectiles) update.
TPS
This measures the game's overall tick speed, ideally 20 ticks per second. When the TPS drops below 20, the game may lag, affecting all processes.
Description
This mod enhances server performance by adjusting Tick Rates for Item Entities, Block Entities and Living Entities. Adjusts the Tick Rate based on Server TPS; lower TPS results in a lower Tick Rate.
It also implements some features for improving the game performance, you can take a look in "What's More?" section.
It is very recommended to change the configs to your server's preferences. Don't put all at once without knowing what are you doing.
Tick Tweaks is server side, it isn't needed in the client.
