I wish people would stop opening like JProfiler (or the many likes) and jumping to memory leak on a "suspect"

The BlockStorage uses tons of memory (way more than it should) yes. That is caused by the way it's implemented (it sucks, we know). That does not mean it has a memory leak. Wouldn't surprise me if we did somewhere, however, we'd have actual reports if there was one here.

Apparently Paper also has a memory leak if you just read a suspect and say it's confirmed.

If you dig into the data and see memory being held which shouldn't be by all means reopen the report. I'd love to fix a memory leak if we have one however, there's no information here to indicate we actually do have one. You haven't even OOM'd. I'd love to see more data if you actually do suspect a memory leak but the few times people do claim there is one, it's literally just this same screenshot... that isn't real info. It's just a suggestion there could be a memory leak due to the excessive memory being taken by a single instance (which, in this case isn't actually true)

I'm not saying this to absolve Slimefun for its memory usage FYI, it's really bad. However, until I have time to really spend on creating BlockStorage v2, this is the way it is currently. It should use less but no one is actually having issues so it isn't super urgent to fix immediately.

I mean, my server do OOM's daily, it's just that one time I could catch that before it OOM'ed

Again, if you have more data feel free to provide it. I'd love to dig into it. However, just posting a screenshot which gives nothing isn't helpful.

Are you actually seeing characteristics of a memory leak? Can you actually tie it back to Slimefun? Do you not just need more memory? What data is being held that shouldn't be?

We really need more than "ah program said you maybe leak fix now pls"

provide the actual heap, provide plugin list, provide anything of substance. It's just very hard to do anything from no info at all. Even with the actual heap, I don't know what shouldn't be held anymore (since well, it isn't my server)

For sure, can I provide the heap and plugin list via discord? I use 16gb ram which is more than enough for minecraft.
