Under the hood

Server performance

Frames per second, entities and memory, asked of the server itself.

This server has not answered a direct query in the last 48 hours.

Note: 48 hours: hourly readings. 30 to 90 days: one point a day, with the day's average and lowest fps, most entities and most memory. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.
