Tip: How Often You Should Restart Your Minecraft Server

We recommend that you restart your Minecraft server at least once every 12 hours or day.

This provides benefits such as allowing the RAM used by Minecraft to clear out useless and old data from when your players disconnect, chunks, entities, etc. Restarting once every 12-24 hours will make sure that you have little to no lag from overuse of RAM.
