Insane Minecraft Crash Fix! Apex Hosting Expert Reveals Ultimate Solution!

What’s going on gamers today we’re going to be going over what ticking entities are and how you can get rid of them on your apex server but before we get into the tutorial don’t forget to like this video and subscribe to the official apex youtube channel a ticking entity is

Caused by a monster or creature that has been corrupted in the data files for the game entities is what minecraft caused all monsters and creatures in the game while the game is running the information for the entity can become corrupted this corruption can be so bad

That any attempt by the game to process anything related to it at all will cause the game to crash while this corruption can happen even in vanilla minecraft the leading cause of most ticking entities corruption is usually a mod or combination of mods that are changing

Some core part of the game in Minecraft a tick refers to Minecraft process for updating every creature block and global event in the game for every chunk of the map the game usually does this 20 times per second every time you do something in a game it is only processed on a tick

Place a block destroy a block shoot a monster and so on a chunk is a volume of terrain 16 blocks by 16 blocks wide that stretches from the lowest level up to the highest level your entire world of Minecraft is made of these 16 by 16

Chunks the data for a chunk has to be loaded into the memory so you can see it move around it move in it or build in it during each tick the game has to update every block and every creature in the chunk that the player is standing in it

Also has to do the same for every block and every creature in every chunk around that chunk all the way out to the backs view distance that’s a lot of blocks and it does this 20 times a second if any event happens that keeps a tick from

Finishing properly it can cause the game to crash this can result in the game repeatedly crashing every time you try to enter the game because your spawn point for your character is in the same chunk as a ticking entity it tries to load the chunk into memory

And as soon as it tries to process the corrupted information for the taking entity it’s gonna crash over and over every time you spawn into the game players that are in other chunks may be able to join the game but the same thing happens again if they move into a chunk

Containing a ticking entity the game crashes there are two types of crashes related to the ticking entity crash ticking block is typically the same except the issue is corrupted by a corrupted block or a tile entity these are often special block types are added by a mod modded crafting table blocks

Are a common issue of this sort of crash they are basically handled the same way as a ticking entity the taking world error is the most severe kind of crash the game knows that there is a corrupted block or creature somewhere in the world but can’t give you the exact location

Because it doesn’t know where it is it could be any block anywhere this is the most difficult to fix and sometimes requires some pretty heroic steps to fix it or just plain luck in some cases it’s beyond fixing and if you’re wondering if removing mods can fix it no it really

Won’t even though mods have caused the corruption the corrupted ticking entity is now part of the world data and your world is basically your save game for Minecraft removing the mods will not fix the corruption and the corrupted entity will stay the same in the world also

There’s no way to exactly tell which mod may have caused the corruption it might even have been a combination of multiple mods that caused it if you’re getting repeated ticking entity crashes then later on you might want to figure out which mods are possibly causing it and

Remove them at that time but removing the mods now aren’t gonna fix the ticking entity so if taking entities are that complicated and can be that catastrophic how do you fix it well it’s gonna have to be removed from the world data and there are seven

Ways to do this ranging from very simple to complicated to apocalyptic luckily if the game is crashed because of a ticking entity then it most likely has created a crash report right here I’m going to jump into FTP file access log in and then jump to the crash reports folder

Where I can read this crash report that was created when my server crashed the crash report is going to have the following information and other miscellaneous stuff but the three things that we’re looking for are the type of creature that caused the crash so let’s scroll down until we find it right here

It’s gonna say that the creeper caused the crash and it’s gonna tell us the exact block location that it caused the crashed in and what region of the world that it’s in the crash report has everything you need to find and delete the ticking entity which is super

Awesome when it turns out this way note the XYZ coordinates are only accurate as of the split second before the server crash always try and use the newest crash report as older ones even if they’re only minutes apart are going to contain information that might be outdated if you have a ticking world

Crash the report is gonna be a little bit different it’s gonna start off of course saying that there’s an error but instead of saying that there’s a taking entity it’s gonna say there’s a exception with you’re taking world it’s a ticking world crash the report isn’t

Gonna give X Y or Z coordinates because the game has no clue where the problem is it could be any black or creature anywhere in the game the first method of eliminating the ticking entity is using the CEO FH core to remove the ticking entity if your mod pack contains the CEO

FH core then that mod will have a special version of the regular Minecraft kill command called CEO FH kill all to use this command the server must be able to start up and run without crashing your player doesn’t need to be connected to the game to run the command at all

You can enter this command from the console part of the page at the left by going into Khan and then typing in the text bar at the bottom COF h-space kill all and then hitting enter this command has the ability to kill creatures and even in unloaded chunks which is very handy

Considering a taking entity will cause the game to crash if the game starts to try loading that chunk that the ticking entity is in Co FH core is a required mod for any mod that uses RF power such as thermal expansion or thermal foundation and is commonly found in a

Lot of mod packs check these / mods folder for C ofh chord see if it’s there and if it’s an option you can check by heading into FTP file access logging in and then going to the mods folder and if it’s not in here it might be in your

Core mods folder if your mod pack has a core mods folder and as you can see here I do have Co F H in my mod pack if you don’t have Co F H core in the mod pack you might consider downloading and adding the mod just so you can use this

Command it’s a core mod and should be compatible with just about any mod pack as long as it’s compatible with the mod packs version of minecraft you can get the mod from Chris Forge by searching it up or we’re gonna leave it below the video just add it to the / mods folder

And then start the server you can also use the following commands in console you can add an argument to the end of the command to target it only a specific type of creature mentioned in the crash report so let’s say that the creature you needed to get rid of on your map is

A creeper one of the commands you could use is cof h space kill all and then space again and then type in creeper and then of course hit enter you can also use it for modded creatures so let’s say you have a goat because you have a cool

Animal mod you can go ahead and type in Co FH kill all and then you would type in the name of the creature or goat that pops up in your error report and then you would of course hit enter I do want to note though that

Creatures killed with the Co FH kill all command don’t drop loot as they aren’t actually being killed there just being deleted from the game you can try using the regular minecraft kill command but unlike this Co FH core kill command the regular one has huge drawbacks the regular kill command kills entities by

Causing an astronomical amount of damage to them unfortunately as part of the process of causing damage it has to process all of the information for the entity and if it’s a ticking entity that crashes the game instantly before the command actually kills it it’s going to crash the server the vanilla version of

Kill doesn’t affect unloaded chunks if you get close enough to use the vanilla kill command it will load the chunk with the ticking entity and cause the server to crash if you still want to use the vanilla kill command what you want to type is kill and then at and then E and

Let’s say the type of mob that you want to kills a zombie you would put in in brackets then you would type type and then you would put in an equal sign and then you would type in the zombie and then you would finish the brackets off

And hit enter and now I’m gonna show you the low-tech way to fix it but unfortunately the least likely way to succeed sometimes you’re gonna have to use the XYZ coordinates from the crash report to teleport to the creatures location in the quarter of a second before the game crashes and then you’re

Going to have to kill the creature does it work all the time no but it’s a really satisfying way to fix the issue when it does work this will only work if the game is not instantly crashing and start up if your character is spawning

In the same chunk the 16 by 16 block area that the creature is spawning in or that you are spawning in or that contains the ticking entity the game is going to crash before you could do anything over and over your character is going to need to have the correct op permission or

Mission node that allows them to use the /tp command or the slash teleport command you’re also going to need a weapon that can kill the ticking entity in a single hit you’re not gonna have time for a second one it’s also recommended that you switch the game-mode to creative by using slash

Game mode creative in the console mcedit will generate a colored wireframe view of your Minecraft world and allow you to fly through it as you can see here I’m moving around not the greatest frames or anything but it’s going to get the job done you can also teleport to exact XYZ

Coordinates of the ticking entity and use commands in mcedit to select and delete blocks and then when you’re finished all you need to do is save your changes and then upload the fixed world back up to your server but there are some things to note mcedit can

Only be used on Minecraft world saves up to one point eleven versions one point twelve one point thirteen and one point fourteen and one point 15 aren’t supported at this time it also doesn’t support the bedrock edition this saves for Windows 10 Xbox Playstation 4 etc and it also requires

You to have a Minecraft installation on the same computer as you’re making yet it’s on as it uses the game files to generate the wireframe view of your world a very powerful editor but not exactly user-friendly no GUI wireframe view like mcedit it displays the raw

Data that makes up the saves and you can make direct edits to the data you’re gonna have to understand what you’re looking at though what it means and the effects that it has in the game and what it can be changed to if you have a backup made you can just simply restore

The world from a backup and this will roll back from before the entity crash occurred this is probably the easiest and best solution out there out of all the other solutions as it avoids any further potential damage done to the world you can find our guide on

Restoring from a backup below the video now I can’t understate this enough this should be your last resort this method is pretty dangerous for your save and has serious potential to destroy your world this is a way to kind of fix the taking end to the issue you can

Enable certain features of the forge modloader Forge contains two settings that will order minecraft to delete any creatures or blocks that might cause a crash in order to prevent it from crashing this method is completely uncontrollable and Forge is given permission to delete anything and everything that has ever looked at it

Funny and if you’ve ever looked at forge messages in the console forge has a lot of issues with just about everything before you turn on any settings or change any settings I’m gonna recommend that you stop your server before changing any files although it may not

Help with any damage done if you really want to save your world this is really like the last thing you should be doing but but it might save your world from the ticking entity crash if you haven’t backed up or if the mcedit tool is not gonna work or whatever this is really

Your last resort type of thing so to turn on these settings we’re gonna go ahead and jump into FTP file access and login let’s go ahead and scroll down until you find the config file or the config folder as you can see here I have a folder set aside specifically for my

Config now from here let’s go ahead and scroll down until you find the forge configuration file right here I have my forge configuration file let’s go ahead and click the edit button to the very right of it now there’s only two things that you’re really gonna need to change

This is the to remove any tile entity and then the removing error tile entities so they started out as false go ahead and highlight that and then type in true it’s recommended to only turn on the setting appropriate to what you were trying to fix so make sure to change

These with discretion you might not need to turn on the remove erroring entities or you may not have to turn on the remove erroring tile entities it completely depends on your situation so let’s say that you don’t need to turn on tile entities you of course would want

This to be set to false and then from there you can go ahead and save the config file but remember once your server is up you’re gonna need to immediately shut down the server and then change this back to false or both of these back to false because it can

Really really mess up your world let’s go ahead and jump back to the main multi craft panel you can either start or restart your server and then once it fully starts up you’re gonna need to stop it right away and as you can see here my server started up we’re gonna go

Ahead and stop it immediately and then from there we can go ahead and jump back into FTP file access log in and then head to config and then scroll down until you find the forge config and then go to the very right of it and hit edit

Scroll down and make sure that you reverse any changes you made so if you set something to true or you set something to false go ahead and change it back preferably keeping both of these things false and then hit save once your configuration file is set you

Can go ahead and jump back into the main multi-cap page and either start or restart your server and once your servers up you can try connecting to your game to make sure everything is ok once you’re connected to your game you may see entire structures or buildings

Gone that’s the damage that I was talking about earlier if this happened all you need to do is restore the backup that you made before turning on the forge settings and try one of the alternative methods of removing the ticking entity well folks that’s all I

Got for you today I really hope this helped you out with your server and I hope you subscribe to the official apex YouTube channel and I hope you like this video thank you for using an apex server and as always I hope you have lots of fun
