Solution: It was a custom plugin causing this issue (void chest plugin). For anyone having this issue in the future, I just removed all the plugins I added since the problem started happening and re-added them one by one. It was definitely a pain since the problem only occured every 30 minutes to an hour, but I narrowed it down to a single plugin.

The problem was NOT caused by the server jar that I bought from Carry Lord for whoever was saying that.

The server keeps kicking all online players with a "Timed Out" message, then freezes up and stops people from joining it. The console and server works absolutely fine, but people there are no players (kicked and can't rejoin). The only way to solve is to restart the server. I'm using OVH dedicated server, MC-64-OC and pterodactyl.
Can anyone help with this? Anyone know what's causing it and a fix for it?

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Have you tried calling a plumber?

In all seriousness,

This thread goes over possible causes and potential solutions.

Can be due to Java, disk space, a Multicraft installation error, or even a corrupt check.

We'll need some more info:
- Plugins? (Particularly any added / updated / changed recently)
- Server version?
- How often does this occur?
- Have you asked your host? (this is sometimes a host issue)

Recently Added Plugins
- Paper Spigot 1.8.8
- Occurs every 30 minutes or so. The entire server just crashes
- The host is OVH. Should I even bother asking them? I've heard they never respond.[DOUBLEPOST=1515956369][/DOUBLEPOST]

hmm, I use pterodactyl, not Multicraft. Do you know how I would go about resolving this problem?

If your server is not running with players atm start by taking off half your plugins and if it does nit crash for 30mins or a hour then it was one of thise plugins do all the ones that are no highly used first such as world edit crash fix.

Do what he said. It will lead to the plugin which is most likely causing it.

That is assuming it's a plugin issue. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. I've seen this caused by some larger plugins (McMMO had it in a build a while back, but I doubt that still exists... I heard it could be caused by WE occasionally, although most people use FAWE nowadays so...), but I also remember it being a host problem too, could be caused either by running too much stuff on the machine, or a bad Java version. I personally had this issue on a server I developed for about two years ago, it ended up being on the host side with their machines.

I'd do what the other users suggest. Pull half of your plugins, see if the issue persists. If it does, reinstall those and pull the other half. Whichever half stops causing the issue contains the bad plugin, and you can narrow it down from there using a similar process.

If neither half solves it, then it's either your Bukkit / Spigot build, or a server machine problem.

Its good advice, but the thing is the server needs players online for the crash to happen, I've tried with whitelist on and it didn't occur. Also, with players on, it takes like 30 minutes to an hour to crash...

Well, I can't think of another way to fix it. To find a bug, you have to cause it. To cause it, you need players. This bug appears to be known to your players, so you can't really make yourself look worse by bringing the server back up for them and telling them you're working on a fix.

If you're saying you lost your playerbase because of this, then I'd suggest either getting some pals / alts on, or recruiting some random people to help.

Do a timings, considering the server stays up but players can’t join.
