Hey Guys, 23porsche09 here! I think that Skyblock Survival really should have more than 300 as Max. Every time I look forward to log in on the Server it is full and have to wait a while before I come in, like probably many others do since it's so popular server. I hope you do something with this.

Regards 23porsche09/Sebastian

 

even if you make the max to 400 it will still be full and you always need to be faster than the other people

 

I see that Noobcrew has raised the max player to 320, at least right now.
He would make it 1000 if it were stable.
He does a lot of work to ensure the best features + max players + stability are all maximized.
Its always a lot of trial and error after a major update, and this one is as major as it gets, since the new Plugins are added.

 

The reason Crew doesn't add more player slots is - yep, you guessed it - lag.
Let's say he raises the player cap to 400.
Well, in Minecraft, a player loads 32 chunks around him - 80 MB of RAM;
Taking that into account, 80 * 300 = The amount of memory (approximately) we already use for players alone.
That's 24,000 MB. (or between 23/24 GB). Luckily, every player isn't 32 chunks away. If I were to take a wild guess, I'd say players alone take up 2-3 GB of server RAM alone. Taking that into account, adding 100 more won't help;
that plus the fact that the server already uses memory for plugins, schedulers, and routine Bukkit tasks.

TL;DR More player slots would cause too much lag.

 

It's back to 300.

 

Well that is not nice but cant do anything about it can we?

 

No.

 

Such a short answer it feeled like a punch on my face

 

lol and actually i think he should raise it to like 320 it wouldnt be THAT bad and yeah back when iw asnt a 100 donor and i couldt bypass the player slot limit i was happy singing a song about to log in when sudenlly:300 max players plz try agina since thath was my fav server i was like:ffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Answer: donate and get a reserved slot.

Option 2: get an autojoin.

 

Mem is not the actual problem, though it is on most MC servers trying to get more players without lag.
Its mainly CPU and Mod/Plugins.

As a note on mem, Skyblock has a lower than normal player mem allocation, since many chunks have not only air in the upper half of the chunk, but air down to Y=0. "Empty" parts of chunks '"save" ram, the way Mojang allocates it. I have not ever seen Skyblock.net even above 50% RAM, even with over 300 users. At any given moment with 300+ players, 50+ are in chunks that are already allocated, and chunks regions are only loaded once. That means that if everyone were in say, the spawn area, you could have 2000+ players running in less than 1GB. They would lag, though, due to CPU, data path, & plugin issues.

 

Ok, Thanks for the information guys! Go and check my Request for Mod! Cya
