Updated from 1.20.1 to 1.21, can't join !

Hi I hope you're doing good ! So I started my server in 1.20.1 Paper, have some plugins and datapacks, worked fine. I wanted to upgrade to 1.21 Paper. So I upgraded my plugins, datapacks, removed the ones I didn't wanted or won't get update in a while (I followed the dev's instructions for each) but yet, the server does open, but it's impossible for me to join it. Why ? Here are my latest logs :

Are there any plugins for 1.20.6 that will Hide all player name tags?

Hey,

I am currently planning to stream a live event on my server. I'd like to hide all player names over the duration of the stream to protect the privacy of my users.

Are there any plugins that can do this? I've seen a few that let you hide your own name tag. However, I'd like to have it so name tags are toggled off over the duration of the stream.

Thanks in advance:)

Anyone Feel Like Essentials is a bad plugin?

I use essentials all the time on my server - but recently I have thought a lot about uninstalling it. I find it kind of annoying, and in some ways find it to be of poor quality. The only thing I really like is /mail, but tpa is kinda low quality and there's better plugins for it. Same thing applies for /warp and /home. A lot of Essentials commands seem to be kinda cheap in my opinion.

I'm starting to try out other plugins, like SimpleTpa, and I really like them. Anyone else feel like Essentials is kinda bad?

Is there a plugin to add vanilla enchantments past cap via enchantment table

I want to add enchantments levels past the vanilla cap (ex efficiency 6, fortune 4 etc.) I would like them to be added to the enchantment table rng. It would be awesome if you can negate this via permission node.

I am making a progressive server. Where the user is gated between tools and enchants until they make it past a milestone.

I am running 1.21

Worth using a Dell Precision 3630 for a Heavily modded Server?

Hey, we're currently cleaning out our storage at work where an old Precision 3630 with an i7-8700k and 16Gigs of DDR4 turned up.
Heard Mc server require high single core performance for which the 8700k should work (?). Had plans to run a heavily modded technic server with around 10-15 people in the future. Anyone have experience with a 3630?
The Ram could obviously be upgraded later down the line to 32 if it's not enough.

Cheers

Got some MSPT issues

Hi folks I have been getting some random spikes of mspt lag on my server and Im not sure what I can do to improve it.

I have included a Spark report down below but it has reported the cpu incorrectly the CPU is a Intel i7-8700 with decent single core performance(so I dont believe its the cpu)

I have lessened the amount of ram and tried hosting on SSD rather than hard drives but I still seemed to get the random spikes

I have turned down a turn of the settings to whats recommended in the Paper server performance guide.

You my look at the below report and go oh the performance doesnt look too bad and thats due to the report being from the maintence period I put in please so there was only a few lag points from when I hopped on to try and test things(hard to test things with only one person) the other players are busy with work

Any help on what I can possibly do to get rid of the spikes is appreciated or just improve performance.

Have also provided my internet speed test results incase that may be the cause

[Question] Lost and confused on how to advertise

(THIS POST IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT)
Server's name or discord is never mentioned.

Hey there

Recently i "Launched" (More or less like just finished development of) my public server, One thing i forgot to do is build a community beforehand, which was even harder considering i finished development within the span of four days, and now im finding it more than rough to reach out/advertise my server as i have quite literally 0 people awaiting release.

What do you reckon are some strategies that may help me grow a community for it, im sure the server has a jig that would absolutely interested, Or else, where do you reckon is the right place to find a partner that may take on that role

Velocity to 1.12.2 Spongeforge HELP!

Hey all, I am attempting to setup a network for a 1.18.2 (lobby) and 1.12.2 (Spongeforge) server. I understand that I need to be using legacy/Bungeeguard as a means of forwarding, but I get stuck when I try to join my modded server. When I’m on bungee guard, it says I need to install Forge/the necessary mods to join . However, when I go on legacy mode, it works just fine. I want to be protected and while my server does have a firewall, i want that added security of Bungeeguard. Is there anything I can do?

Multicraft WinError:5

I have been working my way through the various errors Multicraft has given me during installation, and I have reached an error that I cannot find much information on. The server startup read out along the lines of...

  • Loading server properties
  • starting server
  • loaded config for "forge"
  • updating eula.txt file

After that It gives me a single error, unlike the slew of errors that came with not having a path specified in the .conf file.

  • Failed to start server: [WinError 5] Access is denied
  • Restarting crashed server
  • server stopped

From what I have found, it could be related to the fact the JRE file is located in "Program Files"; however, redirecting to a copy of the file on the desktop gives the same error. I didn't know if Multicraft needs admin privileges and, if so, how to assign them. The other solution I thought of was another directory, but I'm not sure since copying the file to the desktop yielded no change.

Need to get a new VPS, which should I choose?

I have been running on a 2GB RAM, 1 CPU core server for a few days, but I have been told that my server is actually on shared hosting and is bringing down all of the other servers. I am currently looking at getting a VPS from somewhere like AWS, Azure or GCP. I don't need any more memory or power, it was working fine before. Is there a better option out of the three VPS providers? I have been paying USD$12/month, and I don't really want to pay more than that.

EDIT: I am running PaperMC, and the only plugins I have are Geyser (and Floodgate), ViaVersion, Chunky (which I don't use anymore), and DiscordSRV.

Server admin opportunity, hosting provided free! (not technically recruiting?)

Hello people of reddit!
I wont bore you with all the details but my previously successful SMP has dropped off recently as I've been completely unavailable due to working abroad, my only options now are shutting down or finding a keen admin that cant justify paying for a server themselves.

Hopefully that's where you come in!
Its a vanilla style SMP with application process, discord, server backend and likely a good amount of players who would return if the server had some activity.

This is an unpaid role however you would have full control to run the server how you want, assuming it sticks to the current classic SMP style. Obviously id prefer if you had experience as an admin but if your excited to try then that's enough for me!

Thats pretty much it for now, shoot me a message/comment if your interested, would be great to see my server back to the peaks of 30+ players at once!

Hope this isnt against the rules, I see it more as offering someone the opportunity to run a server for free!

Roleplay clock running separately from in-game time on a Forge server

Trying to make a clock using scoreboards that has a configurable day/month/year running separately from the in-game time, for example being able to set it to any year and the duration of each day/cycle. Normally I would use PlaceholderAPI and SimpleScore to do this, but with my server running Forge and me unwilling to go back to hybrid server hosting due to its laggy nature i have no idea how to go about doing this. I have tried ForgePlaceholderAPI to no avail. Many thanks for any help

Bungee cord Chat Plugin

Any suggestions for a bungee cord chat plugin where I can make channels that also supports parties. Discord integration would also be good. I am currently using VentureChat but setting channels and muting is per-server, just the chat messages are shared between servers. I want a plugin that is managed through bungee cord so I don't need to keep setting channels as I change server. The ability to not override the default chat on some servers would also be good because I have games like bedwars where the plugin creates team chats but I still want staff and other private chat channels to be available on these servers. Other servers such as SMP could very easily have the default chat overridden.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated. I understand that I might not be able to get all those features but if not please state which features are not supported.

Using an old laptop for a 24/7 minecraft server?

I have a Lenovo Y510P from 2013. It's an old thing but still runs fine. It has a 2.2GHz Intel Core i7-4702MQ quad-core CPU, 16 GB RAM, and a GTX750m. My plan is to use the laptop for nothing but a server, so core and RAM allocation isn't a concern as I won't be doing anything else with it.

I want to have it open for 10 players max and ideally it would be a curseforge server so I can run mods on it. My plan is to leave it plugged in 24/7 and just run the server.

I've heard that for 24/7 servers, it's a good idea to install Linux for an easier time doing server upkeep, general hosting stuff, and better freedom of controlling exactly how many CPU threads and how much ram the server can use. The last time I hosted a server was in 2014 on windows, so my knowledge on all this stuff is extremely rusty at best. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated,

Forge Server refuses to start up, says mod failed to load correctly. Mods in question aren't installed on the server. {LINUX}

Hey all. I apologize in advance if this isnt the right sub for this kind of thing, or if im forgetting details but im running out of options.

I wanted to open up a modded 1.19.2 server for some friends, friends of friends, and friends of those friends running a sizeable modpack. However, the server does not seem to want to play nice. It keeps telling me that Oculus and Legendary tooltips didnt load correctly.

These mods had caused issues in the modpack before. I took them out, and it worked fine. I then added some extra mods and server utility mods and well, here we are.

I followed a minecraft forum post suggestion which said to switch from java 19 to java 17, the issue persisted.

No crash log exists, the server straight up dies before it can even make one. All i have is the output log: https://mclo.gs/RidAnNe

I tried putting the modpack on a fresh server, thinking the original one was corrupted somehow. The same lack of a crashlog persists on this one, output log here: https://mclo.gs/37dNEVZ

Mod list: https://shorturl.at/htSud

I'm really out of my element here regarding this kind of thing, i have gone through these logs countless times for anything else and came up with nothing. If anyone can offer a suggestion or two that would be greatly appreciated.

Oracle Hosting MC Server

Howdy yall, I'm currently trying to set up an Oracle cloud server, but I keep getting the following message:

"Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex in availability domain AD-3. Create the instance in a different availability domain or try again later. If you specified a fault domain, try creating the instance without specifying a fault domain, otherwise try creating the instance in a different availability domain. If that doesn’t work, please try again later. "

I'm just barely computer literate enough to start this process, does anyone have advice for how to solve it? I don't mind spending a bit of money if it would help get this going faster. I would hate to just sit here and keep trying to create an instance until they have space open up.
