Debugging and Fixing Ticking Entity Errors

If you’ve ever wondered how to fix ticking entity errors, this guide is for you. In this guide, we’ll be covering how to debug and fix ticking entity errors.

What is an Entity Error?

An entity error occurs when an entity, like a mob, item, or projectile, gets corrupted. Entity errors happen less on vanilla Minecraft than on modpacks. If you load a chunk where an entity is corrupted, the server will crash.

Methods For Fixing Ticking Entity Errors

1. Restoring a Backup

Restoring a backup ensures that your world is returned to a state where no corruption has occurred.

You can contact our support to ask for a backup of your server. We take daily backups of our clients’ servers.

2. Forge Configuration

Enabling removeErroringBlockEntities and removeErroringEntities removes any ticking entity automatically.

1. Go to your world’s /serverconfig/forge-server.toml -file.

2. Enable removeErroringBlockEntities and removeErroringEntities.

This can screw up everything in your server and is not recommended as a first resort.

3. Editing Your World With World Editors

1. Locate the ticking entity’s location in the crash report.

2. Trim the chunks with either MCAselector or NBT Explorer.
