### Game Tick
\nA game tick is a single cycle of Minecraft\u2019s game loop, where the game updates actions, events, and mechanics like movement, block changes, and redstone.<\/p>\n

### Tick Rate
\nControls how often entities (like mobs, items, and projectiles) update.<\/p>\n

### TPS
\nThis measures the game’s overall tick speed, ideally 20 ticks per second. When the TPS drops below 20, the game may lag, affecting all processes.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

# Description
\nThis mod enhances server performance by adjusting Tick Rates for Item Entities, Block Entities and Living Entities. Adjusts the Tick Rate based on Server TPS; lower TPS results in a lower Tick Rate.<\/p>\n

It also implements some features for improving the game performance, you can have a look in “Configs” section.<\/p>\n

It is very recommended to change the configs to your server’s preferences. Don’t put all at once without knowing what are you doing.<\/p>\n

Tick Tweaks is server side, it isn’t needed in the client.<\/p>\n

\n– Tick Interval: Tick Rate of the far entity
\n– WakeUp Interval: It will check every certain ticks, instead of checking every tick.<\/p>\n
