MinecraftThe Minecraft Watchdog monitors your server's main thread and automatically crashes the server if a single tick takes longer than the configured time limit. While intended as a safety feature, it can cause unnecessary crashes during heavy operations like world generation and hides the actual cause of lag behind an unhelpful watchdog crash report.
Disabling Watchdog
- Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server.
- Click Settings.
- Locate the Max Tick Time setting and set it to
-1.
- Click Save and Start your server.
Your server will no longer crash from watchdog timeouts. If your server experiences lag or hangs, check the console and crash reports to identify the actual cause.
Disabling the Watchdog prevents your server from crashing due to slow ticks and makes it easier to diagnose the real cause of performance issues.
