Private server freezing
Hi.
I'm trying to host a private modless Java server for myself and friends (max 10 online at any time). I'm running the server on a separate windows machine with only the server on it. We followed the "common instructions" we found online on a wiki to set it all up.
Things worked fine for a week or two but then Windows restart caused an improper shutdown and the server would randomly start to freeze, and never unfreeze, forcing us to ctrl-alt-delete to shut it down.
We thought it got corrupted due to the restarting/shutting it down without /stop, so after a lot of testing and attempting to restore data or fiddle with RAM settings, we made a new world and started from scratch.
Worked fine again for a week or two and now it started freezing again, unprompted. We thought it might be a UUID issue but our attempts to resolve those did nothing.
The server isnt actually crashing so we dont get error messages or crash reports, but it's also not temporarily freezing from lag.
The internet is sadly very outdated, unprecise, unrelated or contradictory, and we are not very knowledgeable regarding Minecraft. The Minecraft reddit suggested we ask for help here, so, any ideas? :/
I can post more info if needed.
