Question Having some lag issues, any recommendation?

[Killortree]

I have a server with 20 plugins and some picks with 20-30 players, in those picks the server lags extremely (2-11tps)
I am not the best in this matter so it could be a silly thing, I will leave timings right there.

Some areas have quite a lot of entities, for example the area around 0,0 has over four hundred entities. Try reducing the amount of entities on your server.

Thanks! Do you know how to do that? As I said I am not the most experienced configurator.

There's not really one way to do this, you probably want to figure out why there are so many entities to begin with. Try going to the area and seeing if there maybe are large mob farms, many entities that can't despawn due to wearing armor or holding items, etc. Depending on the cause, you can decide how to get rid of them. If there are a lot of entities holding items, then you can probably just kill them right away. If there is a large mob farm, then you'd probably want to scale it down (or ask the person who made it to scale it down), or change the farm such that the entities are killed faster. What action is most appropriate depends on what type of server you have and what the cause of these entities is, you'll have to make that judgment yourself.

I have a survival server so I guess it would be reducing the amount of farms and how large they are. I also tried changing things in bukkit and spigot yml.

Are the entities the only major cause of lag?
How can I know where the majority of the mobs are looking at the timings?

Thanks!

Note for the last message, playing arround with the bukkit/spigot yml kind of worked, its a little better now.

I changed the number of mobs generated and more following a guide.

I will upload the new timings after the changes: https://timings.aikar.co/dev/?id=4937eed3de0448649e2d04547df87de5
