  • When I connect to the server, the server then closed by itself and kicks players that had login to the server. This problem started to happen yesterday.
    I've just try to connect server again and the problem still exist. Here's the log.
    What happened to my server?

  • I've tried your method but when I go to upload the world that without playerdata, it said that I cannot upload file larger than 200MB, where my file is 500MB. What should I do?

  • I've deleted other useless data to make it under 200MB. I uploaded the world again and first the problem still exist. And then I try once again the server suddenly works fine. I don't know why as I have do nothing to it.
    Here's the log works normally: https://mclo.gs/m7nCs2q

    Instead of using that just use Skinsrestorer plugin and also download vault plugin to able to work that plugin

  • Nope... I don't think so. The server always crashes when the owner of the server login. And it seems that the name of the server owner causes the problem as I've tried to login to the server with another account which name is same to the server owner's, Rei_Ya. It then crashed for no reason. Strange

  • Okay. I've done what you told. I've downloaded the world and delete related player data. Then I zipped the file and uploaded the world. It showed that upload success. But when I entered to the world, I found that it is not the world that I've uploaded. No one was kicked at this time but it was not the world that I want.
    My world is 9MB but when I download the world that I uploaded it become 3MB. What's wrong with my world?
