Introduction

ClearLaggEnhanced

The definitive ClearLagg successor for 1.20+. ClearLaggEnhanced is a modern, high-performance lag prevention plugin for servers running Paper, Spigot, Purpur, or Folia — built around intelligent entity management, granular per-chunk limiters, real-time performance monitoring, and an in-game Admin GUI for every module.

Special thanks to bob7l, the original developer of ClearLagg, whose pioneering work inspired this enhanced version.
