  • My friend has an aternos server for a group of friends I'm in. It's a 1.16.5 Fabric server with a few of the Origins mods, nothing huge.


    Recently, we've had an issue where seemingly random items have disappeared from people's chests. It's ranged from regular building blocks to rare loot. Items such as signed books in item frames have also gone missing. Initially, everyone jumped to making accusations that there is a thief on the server, so it's been shut down for a while. However, nobody on the server has admitted to anything, and I really don't think any of the people on here are the stealing type.

    I just wanted to ask if there is another way items could just disappear like that, maybe through a saving error? Admittedly, I am not the most tech-savvy, so I am not sure that is even a possibility. However, I just want tensions in the group to settle down and for the server to be put back up.

    There have been many instances where the server's TPS dropped and the server began to struggle to keep up, so it's not like the server has been working perfectly. I myself have had times where items I'd put in a chest would jump back into my inventory, though I think that's just an internet error on my part.


    So, is there any way this issue is a server one? Or is it more likely that there's someone who is taking stuff? (If so, do you have any ideas for solutions?)

    I don't have access to the logs at the moment, but I'm willing to get them if needed.
