Are you experiencing ‘LAG’ in your minecraft session. A lot of people will deem that lag will come from the server your connected to and that it cannot handle the load. Others will say that its your Internet connection, or your ping time. Well I have a few things that I can share and I hope that it can help you in your experience as well.
I am currently running my own Minecraft server on Debian Wheezy. It is running with 4 cores and 8GB RAM with a 50GB HDD. This is a dedicated server and nothing is running on this server except Minecraft. I don’t have any issues with any of my computers at work or my 3 desktop computers at home. At home I have a 50Mb connection and my ping times to my server are normally within the 20′s to 30′s ms. However on my Macbook Pro I seem to have some ‘Lag’ so I was fooling around with some settings and would you believe it .. no more ‘Lag’.
Nothing changed with my connection speed just the setting within minecraft. Heres what I did
In Minecraft press the escape key (ESC) this will bring you to the Game menu.
Next click on Options…
From there choose Video Settings…
Change the following:
- Graphics: Fast
- Render Distance: Tiny (limits view distance to 32 blocks)
- Smooth Lighting: Off or Minimum
- Performance: Balanced or Powersaver (limits to 35fps)
- Advanced OpenGL: Off
- Particles: Decreased
- Use VSync: Off
Doing this should really increase your performance and reduce the ‘Lag’ you may see. I did this for my Mac, and although I have a pretty decent Mac, it did speed things up and I got better performance.
Since there is no real easy way to do this and since virt-manager is not for OSX – Here is the best thing we can do.
Since I have virt-manager installed on my linux machine at work – and I can connect to that machine from home. Here is what I can do. Open a terminal on my mac and ssh into my machine –
ssh -l USERNAME -X myserver
This will then allow you to type in virt-manager and it will open up on your screen though X11 – XQuartz
So everyone at work was telling me how I should try out Debian on my server at work because it is so much more stable then Ubuntu – Currently running Ubuntu 12.04 LTE server edition.
So I headed over to http://mirrors.xmission.com and downloaded a copy of Debian.
Then I fired up my virt-manager from my local machine and created a 50GB virtual drive on my main server. 4 cores and 8GB ram.
Started the installation and choose SSH Server and Standard System Utilities on the software selection.
All went well and now at a command prompt to log in.
Logged in and the first thing I wanted to do is install VIM and ctags
So trying to sudo to root – I noticed that my user was not in the sudoers file – then I realized that I created a password for the root user when I installed. Doing this it does not install sudo on the machine. I guess some sort of precautionary measure.
So I had to su to root – then do an apt-get install sudo to install sudo .. very easy.
Then I added my user to the sudo file with: adduser user sudoers
Now I was able to apt-get install vim and ctags with no issues.
Now what do I do with it?
