Performance Tips

Optimization guide for ChestLockLite on high-traffic servers.

Database Optimization

Regular Maintenance

Run these SQLite commands monthly:

VACUUM;
REINDEX;
ANALYZE;

Or use SQLite browser tools to optimize.

Database Size Management

  • Monitor database file size
  • Remove orphaned locks periodically
  • Clean up old trusted player entries
  • Archive old locks if needed

Configuration Optimization

Limit Chest Counts

locks:
  max-chests-per-player: 50  # Lower for performance
  max-trusted-players-per-chest: 10  # Lower for performance

Disable Unused Features

locks:
  allow-passwords: false  # If not used
  allow-trusted-players: false  # If not used

Reduce Backup Frequency

database:
  backup-interval: 48  # Less frequent backups

Server Performance

TPS Considerations

  • Each lock operation is a database write
  • Password verification is CPU-intensive (hashing)
  • GUI operations are lightweight
  • Trusted player checks are fast (indexed queries)

Best Practices

  1. Limit Max Chests: Prevent players from creating thousands of chests
  2. Regular Cleanup: Remove abandoned locks periodically
  3. Monitor Database: Check database size regularly
  4. Optimize Periodically: Run VACUUM monthly

Scaling Tips

Small Servers (< 100 players)

  • Default settings work well
  • No optimization needed typically

Medium Servers (100-500 players)

  • Consider limiting max chests per player
  • Run database optimization monthly
  • Monitor database size

Large Servers (500+ players)

  • Lower max chests per player (20-30)
  • Limit trusted players per chest (5-10)
  • Regular database optimization (weekly)
  • Monitor database size closely
  • Consider periodic cleanup of old locks

Monitoring

Key Metrics

  • Database file size
  • Number of locks in database
  • Average locks per player
  • Database query performance

Tools

  • SQLite browser for database inspection
  • Server performance monitoring plugins
  • Database query analyzers

Optimization Checklist

  • Database optimized (VACUUM)
  • Indexes verified
  • Max chest limits set appropriately
  • Unused features disabled
  • Regular maintenance scheduled
  • Database size monitored
  • Backup strategy in place
