still there after you die? Kinda looks like you're glitching out from falling to death but didn't actually die. (Poorly programmed god plugin?)
If dying doesn't help, what happens when you disable all plugins? (if this helps, then go through an enable one by one slowly till you find the one that causes it) OR maybe your logs have some warning/error messages that could help you out.
Yes, it's good idea. If it's yours, it's even better idea. You can control how many resources you want to give, can shutdown and start easily. Also, I would recommend using DEBIAN for VM, because, as I've heard, it's one of the best OS for servers.
Going off of this, I've always been a big fan of CentOS. It's my OS of choice for servers *every time*. Lightweight, but powerful and fully expandable. But I've heard good things about Debian servers too - and you probably couldn't go wrong with any of the big names anyway..
Is it possible that its you're internet that slows down? Sometimes Internet Service Providers (ISP's) get a little bogged down during those times when literally everyone hops on the internet to watch live streams, Youtube videos, and play video games after dinner.
You can test this by going to fast.com. Check your speed before 7pm say like 4 - 6, then check it again once you notice the lag. If you notice a major drop in speed, then its your connection and not Realms, but if you notice no drop, then it is indeed Realms.
If it is indeed Realms it's possible you're overusing your allocated resources with too many mobs spawned or something similar to that.. I've never liked Realms much due to the lack of control and advanced options.
Great, thanks to both of you. I have multiple drives in the PC (and also plan on expanding with some SSDs whenever I have the funds to comfortable do so), so I'll probably split each drive up for a maximum use of say, maybe three servers?
Also @WoBHosting, thanks for letting me know about not needing multiple VMs, that definitely sounds less resource intensive and overall the better thing to do. You're right in that I'm managing each server myself, and I very likely do not need any extra specific controls, so looks like I can just go the normal route.
No I don't mean a screenshot of the Minecraft server interference, I mean taking a photo of your computer that is capable of running a Java version of Minecraft.
Because whenever I Googled "Minecraft server in real life" it does not give the relevant results.
I am wondering whether or not a Minecraft server can be run on a Nintendo DS, or a Nintendo 3DS. or whether or not it can run on a PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, Psvita, Xbox 360, Xbox One. Or an iPhone or android or Samsung galaxy series. So if a Minecraft Server could be run on any of these above, let me know by taking a picture of your machine as evidence.
Also if I am posting in the wrong thread, forgive me.
To answer your question, since others seem to be arguing the definition of what a "server" is ;P
Short answer is no, you can't run a server on any of those systems you listed. Reason being, they have very restricted operating systems which would require you to jailbreak or otherwise install a new operating system on them. You could however run a MC:PE server from an android phone using Pocketmine-MP.
edit: you might be able to host xbox's version of MC on an Xbox, I'm not entirely sure how that works though (you probably need MC Realms for that).
hope that helps a little. Good luck with whatever you're trying to do!
Is your server in offline mode? If so, switching to online mode will certainly help..
I'd suggest using MCBans (if your in online mode). That's what I always did back when I managed my own server. Essentially if an account has been banned enough times (which is probably the case for spam/hacked accounts) then they won't be allowed on your server. Check it out, always loved that plugin!
That's really strange. Definitely some kind of weird networking going on. You shouldn't have any problem connecting using the external IP if everyone else isn't have problems. But that said this is hard to diagnose without a better understanding of your network.
It's possible but unlikely it has something to do with your port forwarding. I would look into your firewall rules on the server, and your router, (maybe even turn debugging/logging on and see if you can find a deny entry). You also might be able to find a duct tape solution using NAT translations or maybe try and put the server into a network DMZ.
Sorry for being vague and probably not very helpful but there's not much I can suggest without knowing more about the network/routing.
Yes, you have a block that is corrupt or not working properly:
Only fix I know of is to open the world save in MC Edit and delete the block at those coordinates. Then upload the new world save to the server and restart. Make backups of the world save first, of course.
This guy knows^^
I'm not sure since I've never really used this tool, but doesn't Multicraft have a tool which fixes corrupted world folders like this? We have a multicraft instance up and running that I could try it on if you want to send us a zip file @Nerlock
Is it possible that your world is corrupted? Try stopping the server, renaming the world folder (to .old or something) then restart. See if the server loads then.

No I'm 99% sure there's no work around. You're going to need to route the traffic (i.e. port forward) otherwise it won't work.
If your work has VPN access, you could VPN into that, then connect to your server locally, but thats not really ideal.
0
erm. no. You can't just change Minecraft's protocol like that, but you could try just changing the port to 80 (this is the standard http port).
BUT
The way I used to get around school firewalls back in the day was using VPNs - they're generally not blocked and let you brows the internet as normal.
Before I learnt about VPN's I used to use TeamViewer to remote into my computer back at home and therefor have unrestricted access that way too.

No need to get salty. You said *you* couldn't using your public IP, I was asking could they. But thanks for clarifying. Good luck with your issue.
Unsubing from this thread, but I'd checkout your NAT rules.

What about people outside of your network? Can they connect using your public IP? And can you connect from within your network using your local IP?

Of course, but please keep this thread updated if you continue to experience lag or figure out what it was! I'm genuinely interested!

I just found Minecraft Server Control Script (MSCS) which might be a good option for you as well!

Hi DarkMorford,
I've heard good things about both NodeCraft and Bisect Hosting, I don't think you could go wrong with either one!
