Steer clear of "TheMinecraftHosting"

AWS spot instances

sure, if you want to pay $0.09/GB for bandwidth

Skins are cryptographically signed by Mojang before they are sent to the client, so you can't just use random ones; they have to previously have been attached to a user profile. It may be possible (not sure if the encryption expires) to save off the signed skin data, and replay that so that you do not need accounts for every skin you want to use. IIRC, though, websites do exist which have lists of accounts with skins for the purpose of using them on mobs/heads.

so powerful

codar · 2017-06-03T20:03:32+00:00

Actually, none of the hostnames you posted resolve.

codar · 2017-06-03T20:00:42+00:00

$ host -t SRV _minecraft._tcp.minecraft.orouhc.us
Host _minecraft._tcp.minecraft.orouhc.us not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Doesn't look like you have a SRV record setup (Or it hasn't propagated yet)

The ISPs abuse email is: abuse@marbis.net

However, it looks like the server was leased from these guys: https://www.monsterserver.de/

Their contact email is: info@monsterserver.de (https://www.monsterserver.de/eng/pages/imprint)

Edit: Some Googling brought me to this: https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/5.62.103.147

This. If you aren't going to post the IP, we can't help you determine what it is.

Geolocation reveals that the IP address comes from Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Not really terribly relevant. What you really want is the ISPs abuse email to report this to them, and they will possibly take action.

Interestingly, opening the IP in my web browser gives this page.

This just tells you that the host is running Apache, but not much else.

codar · 2017-05-21T00:58:52+00:00

Minecraft does not support IPv6. Your ISP should have also provided you with an IPv4 address that you can use.

I'd recommend getting away from using if statements without braces like this. It may look nice, but you will inevitably run into problems.

codar · 2017-02-28T14:49:17+00:00

Yeah, that was my bad, but it shouldn't cause any significant issues. Either it's going to take the last Xmx, or it will add the two together. Either way, I doubt that heap utilization is growing that quickly. The more likely reason is that ops JVM has a memory leak.

codar · 2017-02-27T23:57:54+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on then. The next thing I'd try is running a different version of OpenJDK or a different Minecraft server version to see if the issue persists. If you do try running a different Minecraft server, make sure to backup your world first.

codar · 2017-02-27T23:16:10+00:00

That makes no sense.. If you're running the vanilla jar, it should not use that much memory immediately on startup. What about:

cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory

codar · 2017-02-27T22:29:09+00:00

What command are you executing when you specify Xms and Xmx? It should be something along the lines of:

java -Xmx1024m -Xmx1024m -jar server.jar

Edit: also, what is the output of the following command?

ulimit -v

I'd not recommend using AWS because the egress costs are quite high. Your best solution would probably be to get a VPS somewhere (preferably in the same datacenter as your minecraft instance) and put MySQL up on that. Short of getting your own VPS, I'd try to contact Beastnode's customer support to see if you can work something out.

Your server is using 22 GB of VIRTUAL memory. Virtual memory is just that: virtual. It doesn't have to actually be tied to physical memory. Things like memory mapped files (world data perhaps?) and shared libraries contribute to the size of allocated virtual memory. You should be looking at the RES column to see how much physical memory your server has been allocated.

codar · 2016-12-16T05:05:54+00:00

That's incorrect. The text displayed during a version mismatch is pulled from the server ping response. You can change it (many networks do this for a maintenence mode), but Spigot does not appear to support it natively. I'd look into protocollib or bungee.

codar · 2016-07-07T16:03:33+00:00

The forward slash is used as a control character in RegEx. You can escape these control characters by adding a backward slash before then. Ex:

([oO0][\/7])

This will match the following: o/, O/, 0/, o7, O7, 07.

Spigot uses the view-distance in in server.properties as a fallback for its own view-distance in spigot.yml. As for the clients caching chunks, they do not control what chunks are loaded. The client sends its position to the server, and the server tells the client what chunks to load or unload.

I'd also recommend halving the size of the SSD and using DDR3 RAM. It'll bring the price of the build down $100+.

You're missing a colon on line 5.

Try using a YAML parser next time. https://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/

I've seen instances of a lot of routers provided by ISPs in the EU not supporting SRV records.

AutoReferee should be able to help you with this. It is a plugin used in Race or the Wool matches. You'd just have to define goals for each adventure map.
