Ticking entity issues on a Minecraft Forge server refer to problems arising from entities that require regular processing or "ticking" by the server. These issues often manifest as lag spikes, crashes, or server performance degradation due to the excessive load caused by numerous ticking entities. Addressing ticking entity issues involves identifying and optimizing problematic entities, implementing performance-enhancing mods or plugins, and occasionally reducing the number of active entities in the game world to alleviate server strain.
