Increase FPS & Performance on Java
Determine if you are lagging:
First step to fixing lag is finding out what is causing the lag. On the Valatic Minecraft server, hit F3 and you should be able to view your FPS. Depending on your PC's hardware, your FPS and performance will vary. 60 FPS and above is a great lag-free amount of FPS. While, 30 or under can be considered laggy and under 20-10 FPS is considered basically unplayable.
Luckily if you find yourself with FPS lag, there are plenty of ways to resolve it and improve it. However if FPS is not why you are lagging it could either be your internet or it could be server-side lag. If you believe the server is lagging, please contact support. To determine if it is your internet causing lag, you can take a Speed Test on google. In order to have the ultimate gaming experience on Valatic a download speed of 300MBPS is recommended, speeds lower than this fall into the danger "lag zone" especially for our competitive game modes. In addition to this a ping no higher than 50ms is fine however 20ms is ideal, the lower the better!
