performance server

[Arcaa]

Hello I'm on a server with an average of 35-40 players, I would like to know if traveling far in the world impacts server performance and players' fps.thank you.

Depends on the server specs, server settings, player settings (namely view distance), and how are the players spread out and how much they are moving into undiscovered parts of the map forcing server to generate new chunks and send the data to player(s).

If you'd have 40 players using maxed out view distance of 1536 blocks (without server limiting it to something lower), and most players would be spread out all over the world and exploring a lot, then it will put way more strain on the server than if those players would not be exploring that much, and/or not be spread out that much, and/or using much lower view distance.
If the server would struggle to keep up, players could experience some stuttering and lag.
I do not know whether it would also result in consistent low FPS (beside the stuttering).
