What is âException in Server Tick Loopâ? đ ď¸
This error can occur on any Minecraft server, whether Forge, Fabric, Spigot, Paper, etc. Basically, it appears when your server âcrashesâ due to a problem in the tick loop. đą

Common Causes
The main cause is usually corrupted .json files đĄ. These files configure bans, admins, whitelists, etc. Manually altering them can cause them to become invalid. â ď¸

Example of a Common Issueâ:
Common Problem â ď¸: Editing .json files directly.
Solution âď¸: Use in-game commands like /op instead of manually editing the files.
Step-by-Step Solution
Access your HolyHosting panel đĽď¸.
Log in with your credentials đ.
Locate the files: banned-ips.json, banned-players.json, ops.json, usercache.json, whitelist.json.
Delete them and restart the server.
Trying to join the server after this should resolve the issue. If it persists, thereâs likely another cause, and we recommend contacting our 24/7 support đľď¸ââď¸.
Server Optimization đ
You can prevent these errors by optimizing your server. Check our guides and make sure not to edit .json files manually.
