could you help me with java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
Hey! I'm helping with a minecraft server, until recently no problem happened but last Saturday our host updated the paper and since then the server has been crashing out of nowhere complaining about lack of memory, I never had this problem so I don't really know how to find it the plugin or what is generating it. I put Spark on the server and even managed to catch the momentum of one of those out of memory errors. If anyone can please help me find what is causing this.

My server is using too much memory
My panel says my memory usage is high all the time.
Your server runs in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which has significant overhead & tries to effectively use ALL of the memory assigned to it.
Memory usage from "htop", Task Manager, or your server panel is the total consumption of the JVM, not just your server.
My server is lagging & I think it's memory related.
It's much more likely that you are bottlenecked by your CPU, disk, or some inefficient mod/plugin.
Rule of thumb, servers should have anywhere from 4GB to 12GB of memory, with 8GB being the 'sweet spot'.
If you're heavily modded, add 4GB to that.
Too much memory can be a bad thing. Don't exceed these caps unless you really know why you're doing it.
Troubleshoot your server the right way: use Spark & send us a report.
My server is randomly terminated unexpectedly.
Setting your server to use 8GB does not mean that Java won't exceed this amount.
As a rule of thumb, allow your system/container about 1-2GB (possibly more) overhead outside of the server.
If you're on Linux & can SSH into the system, check your kernel logs. They will report any incidents of OOM.
I want to use swap to allocate more memory.
Don't. Swap is not free memory and using it can negatively impact performance.

These are not magic values. Many of these settings have real consequences on your server's mechanics. See this guide for detailed information on the functionality of each setting.
✅ Your server isn't lagging
Your server is running fine with an average TPS of 20.
