Ok thanks, I also have 16Gig and I dedicated 10Gig to the server, there is nothing else running in the background. Is there anyway I can test to see if it is my network that is causing the issues?

Do I need to allocate more memory? Not to maximum obviously but to 'Allocated Memory' ?

Ok so my server is going pretty good, it can run max players (which I set as 35) with no lag. But sometimes it just decides to lag for no apparent reason, I have been round peoples bases and there is no massive factory's the size of NASA and there is not general reason to as why it should be lagging. I have dedicated 10 Gig of RAM to my server and judging by other hosting sites that should be a bit of a overkill. Processor (Leads onto next part) Intel i5 2500 2nd generation processor (Sandy Bridge),4 cores, 3.3Ghz So I took a couple of screenshots of the results of /lag, they are below I understand Maximum memory but I don't really understand Allocated and Free, E.g what is the difference between Maximum and Allocated? Also can anyone see how I could improve my lag issues? Thanks!

Use a version of Essentials that is for 1.2.5 I use this version - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/essentials/files/150-essentials-2-9-2/

Guys the latest version of Tekkit Restrict seems to be a little buggy as it kicks you for speed hacking when you teleport or sometimes when you use the Quantum Armours speed boost ability. Version 0.66 seems to be the best currently!

We only ban items that we really need to as to keep as much of Tekkit in as we possibly can, The server is on Normal mode so you wont get 3000 mobs attacking you all the time. Our server is always 24/7, the only time the server wont be up is if we are doing some work on the server. At HavocServers we have a great community, everyone is nice to each other and we all get a long. We look for players that know what they are doing, although we do help people with setting up something or with general tips, we also look for mature players who will respect the rules and will look our for other players. We have no whitelist as we want people to get started straight away and not have to spend time and effort just to join a server, although this can stop griefers we have a plugin that can detect who places blocks, who removes them and we can rollback a area so we don't have to worrie about that. There is a rank called 'Member' you can obtain this by playing the server for 20 Hours total, when you have Member rank you will be able to use some more items, Here our a few screenshots of our spawn!

I thought the 2 servers had to be the same default port (25565) not sure about the Transporter port though

I tried getting it to work, are you sure the two servers linked? I had a problem with mine, also I think if you use different ports it can mess things up a little.

Added: +Patches/Fixes To come: Adding what plugin versions I use to the plugins I suggested.

I am almost 100% sure I did not edit the BuildCraft files, I will try and find out for you :3 Edit: I really need to learn how to use one post for multiple replies D:

Follow my instructions...The developer did not put the files on BukkitDev, he put them on the BukkitForums http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/sec-admn-coreprotect-v1-5-fast-block-logging-rollbacks-now-with-worldedit-logging-1-3-1-r1.64297/ There is a download link there.

Strange, a lot of people on my server use quarry's but I don't get a error in chat.

Added both at your request (: Edit: Sorry I used up two posts D:

No problem! I Also why do you want to get rid of NoItem? I originally had ModifyWorld but I find NoItem is a lot better and easier to use. When I used the normal WorldEdit and WorldGuard it did not protect against certain Tekkit items, also if I wanted to set a layer of RedPower lamps I would put the id and then colour E.g ID:Value but it would not use the value so it would always give me default lamps, not sure if this is still a problem though.

What? I found this on BukkitDev

Ok so I thought I would put together a lot of things together to help people getting there server going, when I first started a Tekkit server it took me a while to find everything I needed e.g fixes and patches. Modified WorldGuard and WorldEdit There is quite a few problems when using the normal WorldGuard and WorldEdit on a tekkit server, this fix/version of WorldGuard and WorldEdit will fix most of the problems you will face with area protection. Modified Download and Original thread - http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/9223/ NORMAL WorldEdit - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/worldedit/ NORMAL WorldGuard - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/worldguard/ The thread states that it is for Tekkit 3.0.4 but it works fine on my 3.1.2 Tekkit server. Turn off your server then just drag and drop into your server plugins folder and then turn on your server again then it should work like the normal WorldEdit and WorldGuard. Equivalent Exchange patch for tools and other items When using a plugin that rolls back a area you will notice that it does not roll back areas that have been damaged by certain Equivalent Exchange items, this patch will fix this and you will be able to roll them back! Download and Original thread - http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/6642/ Download the file then extract the files, I recommend using WinRar, you can extract them by right clicking on the file then click "Extract to [File Name\]" this will extract the files to a normal folder, after you have done this go to your server files, next open up the mods folder, you will see a file called "EE2ServerV1.4.5.1-bukkit-mcpc-1.2.5-r2.zip" (!NOTE! the name may be a little different but the patch should still work) open up that file by double clicking on it (If you have WinRar) then open up a file called EE finally drag and drop the new files you downloaded. Banning/Blocking items So there is a lot of items that could ruin your wonderful server, so you need to stop people getting there hands on them, there is many ways to do this but NoItem is the easiest way to do this! (!NOTE! a permissions plugin is required to use this plugin, I recomend using PermissionsEx) BukkitDev link for PEX - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/permissionsex/) BukkitDev link for NoItem - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/noitem/ Once you have downloaded NoItem simply Drag and Drop into your servers "Plugins" folder, next the boring part, open up your permissions plugin, then you need to add the permissions to stop people doing certain things, NoItem can stop the following: Crafting Using Holding Brewing Picking up Dropping Wearing Placing Breaking Cooking / Smelting So I will show you how to form your own perm to add to your permissions plugin. - noitem. This is the start of the perm. nocraft. This tells the plugin what you want it to do, so I have put nocraft. this tells the plugin that we do not want the user to craft a certain ID x214 This is the ID we do not want to the user to craft, so I have put 214 this will stop users crafting WorldAnchors Remember to put a "x" in front of all the ID's There may be a item which looks something like this: 137:3 NoItem does not use ":" so we replace the : with a . E.g x137.3 So our full perm should look something like this - noitem.nocraft.x214 Add this to the your permissions plugin and it will stop users doing what you told it to do. Tekkit-Restrict For me this is the most important plugin to get, this is designed for Tekkit and has a bunch of features, like stopping people duping! BukkitDev link - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/tekkit-restrict/ Simiply Drag and Drop and place into your servers "plugins" folder, turn on your server and then turn it off, it will generate a config, you can customize this to how you would like it. The plugins developer has a great page on how to customize it, Tekkit Restrict Config -http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/tekkit-restrict/pages/configuration/ Modifying McMMO to work with Tekkit McMMO is a popular plugin for skills and other features but you will notice that it will not work with Tekkit addons, like ores and tools, you can fix this easily! First download the normal version of McMMO, I usemcMMO 1.3.09 for CB 1.2.5-R4.0, Drag and Drop into your servers "Plugins" folder, turn the server on then turn it off again, it should create a McMMO folder, go into this folder then open the "config.yml" look in that folder till you see these lines: Mods: Tool_Mods_Enabled: false Armor_Mods_Enabled: false Block_Mods_Enabled: false You must change them to: Mods: Tool_Mods_Enabled: true Armor_Mods_Enabled: true Block_Mods_Enabled: true Swich the server on then off again, go into the McMMO folder and then drag and drop the custom McMMO files into the McMMO folder. McMMO modified files - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55708757/McMMO_For_Tekkit.zip McMMO BukkitDev link - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/mcmmo/ The custom McMMO files support the following: Bronze tools and bronze armour Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald Tools EE2 Tools Adds experience values for all new ores IC2 Adding Tekkit Items to LWC Greedseed has done a great job by compiling a list to add to LWC, it will add most high value items to LWC so you can protect them. LWC List by Greedseed - http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/18703/ CraftBukkit++ So if you are experiencing lag on your Tekkit server CraftBukkit++ would be a sensible thing to grab, I learnt about it from the user Sp0nge. Simply download CraftBukkit++ Build 75 then place it in your main Tekkit folder (Not in plugins or anywhere else) then rename it to Tekkit.jar finally turn on your server and in the console something should pop up about CraftBukkit++, CraftBukkit++ adds some features that reduce lag, like auto stacking dropped items. Download CraftBukkit++ - https://github.com/Doridian/CraftBukkitPlusPlus/downloads Sp0nge's thread - http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/19176/ ClearLag There is a lot of items that make/create/drop lots of entities and if there is a lot of them they can lag your server, a easy way to fix this is ClearLagg, this plugin will remove all the entities you select every amount of time you select, for instance on my server ClearLagg will remove every entite from my world every 10 minutes or if it reaches the max amount of entities I set. Download the plugin then drag and drop into your servers "Plugins" folder, turn the server on then off again, it will generate a ClearLagg folder, then open up the config.yml file, you can customize everything in here, for instance: settings: broadcast-removal: true <--Tell the server that entities have been removed? broadcast-message: Removed +RemoveAmount Entities! <--What message to send? enable-scheduler: true <--Should we remove entities every time you set? enable-limit: true <--Should we remove entities when it reaches a cap you set? autoremoval-interval: 600 <--When to auto remove entities? (Seconds) BukkitDev link - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/clearlagg/ AntiGriefing, Rollback, Data Logging and More! (Request by the user "pherce") So there are many plugins that can do things like this, for instance, HawkEye, LogBlock and Guardian, but sometimes they require a MySQL database or they are slow or out of date. I have tried all of these and I find that CoreProtect is the easiest to use and to set up, there is not loads of configerations you must use and you do not have to use a MySQL database! There is lots of things CoreProtect can do, I will list the ones the developer has put: Fast efficient data logging. Fast rollbacks - no lag while performing rollbacks/restores. Multi-threaded to ensure server performance is never impacted No configuration required. Put the plugin on your server, and you're good to go. File-based data storage. Optional MySQL support. Easy to use commands. Perform rollbacks AND restores. Undo any rollback, anytime. Easy to use block inspector Automatic update checker. Multi-world support. Enable or disable any aspect of logging in the configuration file. Rollback per-player, or just do a global rollback to all damage around you. Specify certain block types to skip in rollbacks/restores. Restrict rollbacks/restores to specific block types Log basic player actions (such as when a player opens a door) Liquid tracking. Associate liquid flow with players Tree tracking. Trees grown from saplings show who originally planted the sapling. Restrict rollbacks/restores to a radius area. Supports bucket permission system. Able to track blocks that fall off of other blocks. If a player breaks a block that had a sign on it, both the block and the sign can be rolled back. Ability to easily delete old log data. Works with Tekkit servers. There is also a big list of what it can log! This is a great plugin and I would recommend it to any non griefing server. For people that want to know, the reason it does not use MySQL is because it uses "File Based Data Storage" this means that all the files are stored in the CoreProtect's folder not in a MySQL database. BukkitForums Link - http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/64297/NOT BUKKIT DEV My Download link (I AM NOT STEALING HIS WORK THIS IS JUST A RE-UPLOAD OF HIS PLUGIN) Download - https://www.dropbox.com/s/z4n291zn3u9omsq/CoreProtect.jar Fixes/Patches Ok so with all these mods there is usually some problems, whether it be dupe bugs or anything else, some maybe harmless buy annoying, for instance if you mine blocks very quickly with a DM or RM pick the blocks will disappear for you but they will still be there, but there are other bugs/glitches that can ruin game play. matejdro has done a great job at putting together Fixes/Patches so much so that he got a sticky for it! In his post he lists most/all of the fixes you will need, they include LWC fix, Unlimited EMC fix and more! I highly recomend checking it out so you get fair game play on your server. As a lot of people know, there is a dupe bug with the RedMatter Furnace in EE, if your users have already got a RedMatter Furnace then I recommend getting Tekkit Restrict as even if they have a RedMatter Furnace they can use it but it blocks duping with it. matejdro's thread - http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/22447/ -============Need me to add anything else? leave a comment!============-

Works fine for me! I am using Tekkit 3.1.2 Sponge can you make sure you keep this thread up to date? Thanks

I have another question, can I use the normal plugins that I get off bukkit?

Ok I might be being a derp here but do you have to make any client modifications to Tekkit or is it all server side?
