  • My server is a Cracked server, I've tested with my and other's accounts and there seems to be a problem

    all of the accounts were controlled by me, and i did not use any Log4j, nor got infected by any virus that uses the previously mentioned exploit, but the server seems to react to a false alarm and shut down, leaving this message:


    If you need the log information or even aswell, I would be glad to answer

  • Can you share your client log:

    1. open your minecraft installation path (enter %appdata%/.minecraft in the file explorer )
    2. open the logs folder

    3. open the "latest" or "latest.log" file with a text editor

    4. copy and paste the content of the file to https://mclo.gs/

    5. send the link here

  • Same error message, I tried joining in quickly again before the server closed, and it gave me a different error message



    Outside from this, nothing else changed, server still closed, even with 4 minutes left of the little time it gives you to join in

  • I do not believe it is a problem with the mods, since I can join any single player worlds without any issue, I have updated Java and I a friend of mine tried to enter on his laptop, with the same mods as I have, and he has the same issue, so not some sort of IP ban aswell.

    I have tried joining an older server of mine in 1.12.2 and it works fine


    I will try to change the server IP if that somehow fixes it, if not, i will try and change versions to a 1.18 one instead of 1.16.5 to test if it is a problem with that.

    Edited once, last by EzKayOo ().

  • Welp, I have tried a couple times to delete Player data, change IP, and even backed up the server, deleted it, and re made it, but it didn't help, in fact, now it closes even before i join in (I assume that it closed when my PC pinged the server before joining it )

    If this issue remains, I will just switch to a PC server since it is just a private Modded SMP for my close friends and I do not run any mayor risks

    Do you use TLauncher?

    You will never get any error message when trying to join a singleplayer world with mods, if the mods don't work then your Minecraft would crash. Mods don't work in the same way on servers and singleplayer, so there's no reason to compare them.

    I will try to change the server IP if that somehow fixes it

    Changing the IP won't help.

    If the server crashes when you try to join share your server log (Click the "share" button on the logs page).

  • Yes, I do use TLauncher, aswell as most of my friends who will join

    and the server does not really crash, it just closes automatically, either way, here is the log information;

    Then read this article: TLauncher

    Hmm, does this problem occur with all players?, does it work with a new world (make a backup first if you are going to test)?

  • yes, it does happen to all players, doesn't matter the Java version, some of them had it updated, other did not

    I will still try to use the Port thing, but I've never needed it with other servers, and i have been using aternos for ages now

  • well, it seems like the port doe snot work at all

    I will ask a friend of mine to make a server with the same mods, and datapacks, and see if it will work, which i doubt, but we gotta try something I guess
