The Ultimate Guide to Fixing the "Exception in Server Tick Loop" Error 🔨

What is ‘Exception in Server Tick Loop’? 🛠️

This error can occur on any Minecraft server, whether it’s running Forge, Fabric, Spigot, Paper, etc. Essentially, when your server "crashes" due to a problem in the tick loop, this error appears. 😱

Common Causes

The primary cause is usually corrupted .json files 🟡. These files configure bans, admins, whitelists, etc. Manually altering them can make them invalid. ⚠️

Example of a Common Issue❗:

• Common Error⚠️: Editing .json files directly.

• Solution✔️: Use in-game commands like /op instead of manually editing the files.

Step-by-Step Solution

• Access your PixelHost panel 🖥️.

• Click on FTP File Access 📂.

• Log in with your credentials 📜.

• Locate and delete the following files: banned-ips.json, banned-players.json, ops.json, usercache.json, whitelist.json.

• Restart the server.

After this, attempting to join the server should resolve the issue. If the problem persists, there may be another cause, and we recommend contacting our 24/7 support. 🕵️‍♂️

Server Optimization 📈

Preventing these errors is possible by optimizing your server. Check out our guides and make sure not to manually edit .json files.
