Server Problems, Post Here!

Well, at least it's working for some. Dunno what I'm doing wrong or what settings are messed up. I'll just skip for now, might fix itself.

Edit: Thanks all!

I am getting an error message when trying to log in. getting one of these two messages

Failed to connect to the server

Error occurred while connecting longing servers, are they down?

Edit:

Failed to connect to the server

Failed to log in: The authentication servers are currently down for maintenance.

i have had this issue myself

i restarted my computer and it helped, but not sure why

I can connect now!

players getting kicked from several EMC servers, several times

Issue is being investigated currently. Try direct connecting to games.emc.gs; that seems to be working for some.

/v +harli on smp7 has issues growing 2x2 jungle trees since the 1.16 update.
Some trees will not grow even you use more than a stack of bonemeal.

I tested in single player and have found the same issue.
Using worldedit I deleted all vines from the area and found that has fixed the issue.

Apparently its a regression.
It was fixed 8 years ago but suddenly popped back up in 1.16.

I know y'all have patched Mojang bugs before, do ya feel like tackling this one?

It's relating to this bug https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-112975 and https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-8187

Ah, well figured that may be the case, thank you anyway.
Hope Mojang fixes it one day

Infinite lighting glitch. Doesn't matter how many times I relog or re-teleport, I can't see anything at all. Lighting blocks light up only their own block. I am on 1.16.4.

Report those areas to https://pmss.emc.gs -- that was a lighting issue, separate from the teleport lighting glitch, caused by a bad Paper build however many months ago.
As a temporary solution, the Fabric mod Starlight should alleviate the issue on the client-side; it's on the Incompatible Mods wiki page (but it tends to work client-side for me).

ive been having this issue playing on vanilla instances as well. its not fixed

EMC specifically has two lighting glitches that I know of; one is caused by teleporting and can be fixed by switching servers, and the other is caused by being unlucky and having those chunks with bad lighting data being loaded when there was a bad Paper build being used for a few hours, and can only be solved by asking an SS to fix it. Steaming's issue was the latter

I, Midnight just got back from a long 1-year break from EMC because of the crashes. My first time coming back was around last Monday? No crashes, but since I got into the game I keep getting "Timed Outs" which is "cool" because last year I had alot of java errors.

My internet is not the best but any other server I go to, no crashes and when I get kick out of EMC for crashes (with the same internet), my other apps and games are working just fine. No internet cut out.

*Today* Smp7 was super laggy for me, so I *hid* on Smp4 and no crashes until I jinx it I just want the nonstopping crashes to stop and to go away forever

I can't even speak in chat without crashing now

This is not a server issue.
That being said, it sounds like there are dropped packets between you and the server (a similar thing has been happening with unixbrain); you can try contacting your ISP and see if they can get a technician out to try and figure out the problem.

unixbrain and MrzMidnight worked together and concluded that this is the issue.
