Server Tick
by sammko
Server Tick makes the F3 TPS graph in the debug screen work on a server, showing server tick rate to the players who can see it.
What it does
Ordinarily, the F3 debug screen's TPS graph reflects only the local client, so the feature stays confined to single-player or the player's own game. This mod carries that graph over to servers, so an operator can read the tick rate of a running server from inside the game. The mod is server-side only: the server runs it and players join without installing anything, though the graph appears only for players with permission.
By default only players with operator status see the graph, and the set of players able to view it can be changed in the configuration. The mod does not work on LAN games, where the graph would be visible to everyone in the session. Server Tick is published for Fabric alone, across 19 release versions 1.16 – 1.20.2, and the latest file is 1.9 for 1.20.2.
Vanilla Minecraft has offered a server-side TPS graph since 1.20.2, so on that version the mod duplicates built-in behavior. The mod's source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Server-side TPS graph
The F3 debug screen shows a tick rate graph sourced from the server, not from the local client.
Operator-only visibility
By default only operators see the graph, and the permitted group can be adjusted in the configuration file.
Configurable access
Access to the graph is controlled per server, so server owners decide who gets the debug data.

Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who want the tick rate of a multiplayer server visible in the debug screen. Players who only join servers need nothing installed.
