🧠 Server Crashing: Error Code 127 (Out of Memory = True)

If your server is frequently crashing with Error Code 127 and the message out of memory = true, it means your server is using more memory than your current plan provides. When the server runs out of available memory, it can no longer function properly and will crash.

🛠️ Why This Happens

- Minecraft 1.17+ dramatically increased memory usage requirements compared to earlier versions.
- Newer worlds and more players also require more RAM to handle additional data.

While future updates may optimize this, there are steps you can take right now to reduce memory usage.

✅ Solutions

1. Switch to Paper

Paper is a highly optimized version of Minecraft that works like Vanilla but offers better performance and memory efficiency.
You can switch to Paper under Versions in the Management section of your Control Panel.

📉 Paper often cuts memory usage significantly compared to Vanilla servers.

2. Upgrade Your Plan

If you're currently on a Coal or Iron Tier plan, consider upgrading to a higher-tier package that offers more RAM and CPU resources.
How do I upgrade / downgrade / switch my plan?

🚀 More memory = fewer crashes and better server performance.
