Claude ab14e1c276 docs: Add comprehensive JVM optimization guide for game servers
Created complete optimization guide (500+ lines):

Modern JVM Flags (2024-2026 Best Practices):
- Aikar's Flags optimized for Minecraft
- G1GC configuration for 4-16GB heaps
- Per-server RAM recommendations (all 11 servers)
- Deprecated flags to remove

Server-Specific Configuration:
- Vanilla: 4GB (lightweight)
- Standard modpacks: 8GB
- Heavy modpacks: 10-12GB
- ATM10: 16GB (kitchen sink)
- Custom G1HeapRegionSize per heap size

Implementation:
- 3-phase deployment (backup, update, monitor)
- Via Pterodactyl panel startup variables
- 1 hour total for all 11 servers
- Rollback procedure included

Performance Impact:
- Expected +0.5 to +2 TPS improvement
- More stable memory usage
- Shorter GC pause times
- Fewer lag spikes

Comprehensive troubleshooting for common issues.
Ready to execute via Pterodactyl panel.

Game Server Startup Script Audit & Optimization

Status: Ready
Priority: Tier 3 - Performance
Time: 1 hour
Last Updated: 2026-02-16

Overview

Audit all game server startup scripts for optimization opportunities. Improve JVM flags, memory allocation, performance tuning.

Audit Areas

  • JVM garbage collection flags
  • Memory allocation (Xms/Xmx)
  • Thread optimization
  • Startup parameters
  • CPU affinity

Optimization

  • Update to modern JVM flags
  • Right-size memory allocation
  • Remove deprecated flags
  • Document changes

Success Criteria

  • All startup scripts audited
  • Optimizations applied
  • Performance improved
  • Changes documented
