Sometimes cant build

I wanted to ask for a bit of advice bc the Mod team and I are stumped. We are running a forge modded server, and at random the server seems to bug out and refuse to let us place blocks. It will either auto delete blocks or obviscate them to a neigboring block. It's very odd, and we have tried uninstalling multiple mods but to no avail. We think its a mod conflict issue, however we don't even know where to start looking. Does anyone have any advice on how to find the source of the issue? We obviously have a lot of mods, the pack totals to 344 mods, however we cant figure out which one is causing the issue.

Binary search your plugins
Remove half of your non-essential (ie not things like PAPI or LuckPerm) plugins and see if the problem is fixed. If it still persists, the cause is in the half still installed. Continue to halve the remaining plugins until you've narrowed it down to a single plugin. Congratulations, you found the culprit.

@Mikeonut it'd be time-consuming, but if you binary search the non-essential mods, you'll probably find where the issue starts

also make sure you do easy stuff, like checking the logs for any errors thrown when this happens

is there a way I can add the startup log into a txt file for later refrence?
codertommy
codertommy2mo ago
just download it from the server folder
Mikeonut

it moves so fast that the server host client just makes half of the log inaccessable ok

also, if you're doing a specific modpack, you could google it to see if it's a known problem or see if it occurs on a fresh install of that modpack

MikeonutOP2mo ago

don't worry, full binary search will only take at most ceil(log_2(344)) = 9 tries!

i wouldnt even bother its something to do with vivecraft
codertommy
codertommy2mo ago
wait does vivecraft need server-side install or can it just be on the client
Tamz
Tamz2mo ago
client server side to fix some issues but client mainly
codertommy
codertommy2mo ago

I dont think the issue started with vivecraft I we can test soon but we added the mod after we initially thought we fixed the issue im pretty sure
