LagSpike Guardian

LagSpike Guardian

Your All-in-One Solution for Server Stability

---

As a developer and server enthusiast, I know the biggest challenge for any server owner is lag. It can come from anywhere—a forgotten mob farm, a massive item spill, or a broken redstone machine. I created LagSpike Guardian to be a smarter, all-in-one solution. Instead of just blindly clearing entities, this plugin actively monitors your server's health and provides you with the tools to both automatically prevent lag and diagnose it yourself. It's powerful, lightweight, and designed to give you peace of mind.

⭐ Features

• ✅ Automatic TPS Monitoring: Intelligently clears entities only when your server's TPS drops below a configured threshold, preventing lag without disrupting gameplay.
• ✅ Scheduled Item Sweeper: Proactively cleans up dropped items on a timer, with configurable warnings and a protected-item list so valuable gear is never deleted.
• ✅ Smart Redstone Limiter: Detects and temporarily disables hyperactive redstone clocks that cause server lag, with whitelisted worlds to protect player builds.
• ✅ Powerful Diagnostic Tools: Use /lagspike topchunks to instantly find the 5 laggiest chunks on your server, helping you pinpoint the exact source of entity-based lag.
• ✅ Full Admin Control: Manually clear items or mobs on demand, and reload the entire plugin configuration without a server restart using /lagspike reload.
• ✅ 100% Configurable: Every message, color, timer, and setting can be changed in the config.yml.
• ✅ User-Friendly Commands: All commands feature full tab-completion for ease of use.
