teleport-delay - Countdown time (in seconds) before teleportation happens (minimum: 1)

Performance Settings:

performance.mode - AUTO (recommended), ULTRA_LIGHT, LIGHT, BALANCED, or HIGH_PERFORMANCE

Config Validation

When reloading with /tpareload, the plugin validates:

YAML syntax
All values are in valid ranges
Sounds exist in Minecraft's registry
Shows detailed error messages if invalid

Example validation output:

Configuration validation failed!
✗ teleport-delay must be at least 1 second
✗ Sound 'countdown' (invalid.sound) not found in registry

Warnings:
• request-timeout (5) is very low, recommended: 30-120

Config not applied. Fix errors and try again.
Using previous configuration.

How to Edit and Reload

Edit the plugins/YoTPA/config.yml file
Save your changes
Use /tpareload in-game to apply changes with validation

Optimization Tips

For FREE/LOW-SPEC servers (512 MB - 1 GB):

Keep mode as AUTO or ULTRA_LIGHT
Limit total plugins to 5-8
Set view-distance to 4 in server.properties
Use Paper instead of Spigot
Limit players to 5-10 concurrent

For MID-RANGE servers (2-4 GB):

Use AUTO or BALANCED mode
Can run 10-15 plugins
view-distance 6-8
15-25 players should be fine

For HIGH-END servers (4+ GB):

Use AUTO or HIGH_PERFORMANCE mode
No significant plugin limitations
view-distance 10-12
25+ players supported

Performance

YoTPA is built with performance in mind:

Lightweight - Minimal impact on server TPS
Thread-Safe - No lag from concurrent operations
Memory Efficient - Adapts to your server's resources automatically
Async Operations - Non-blocking task execution
Lock-Free - No race conditions or deadlocks

Installation

Download the latest JAR from the releases
Place the JAR in your server's plugins folder
