The Dragon Crash Problem

Ever since the ability to respawn the Ender Dragon was added it has caused the server to crash for unknown reasons. As of 1.14, this issue has been solved.

The 'Great' Dragon Crash

Despite the server being taken down many times already because of this problem, unaware new players still made a big deal about the crash on March 11th, 2019 because it was the first time they had experienced it themselves. Here you can read a timeline without any timezone attached for the event.

Timeline of Events

• 12:05pm - The server crashes for the first time. DakkaDok is contacted through Discord.
• 12:17pm - The server momentarily goes back up. The players are relieved.
• 12:19pm - The server crashes again. Many people start gathering confused in the Discord server.
• 1:03pm - DakkaDok mentions seeing things related to the Ender Dragon in the server crash report.
• 1:41pm - Jokes about Struthio (aka the biggest lag machine in the server) start coming up on Discord.
• 3:36pm - The server comes back up.
• 4:48pm - The server crashes again after AntHand, who was in the End at the time of the first crash, joined. This makes it clear that the server was crashing when AntHand loaded the Ender Dragon.
• 7:18pm - Our lord and savior MisterStrawman fixed the server to a collective sigh of relief. AntHand logs in again to no crash, confirming everything was back to normal.

In all, the whole thing lasted over 7 hours, during which a lot of discord hijinks happened.

Meanwhile

Other servers did not crash, so high IQ players such as Porkington just went there and didn't care about dragon stuff.

Ostrich1414's computer was broken during the event, rendering him unable to play online. Thus, ostrich1414 resorted to shooting up heroin in an attempt to chase his own dragon.
