Quick FAQ
Public feedback?
Ignore trolls?
Key takeaways
- Focus on the basics of feedback first, then add advanced tweaks when stable.
- Measure results (TPS, memory, player feedback) before and after any feedback change.
- Document your feedback decisions so you can troubleshoot faster later.
- Start simple: change one setting at a time and test.
- Keep backups before major changes (updates, plugins, or modpacks).
Practical checklist
- Write the goal of this change in one sentence (what should improve?).
- Set one metric (player retention, crash rate, join success, etc.).
- Make the smallest change that can prove your idea.
- Share the outcome with your community and iterate.
FAQ
What is the safest way to try this change?
Back up first and change one thing at a time so you can roll back quickly.
How do I know if it helped?
