Why does BB always crash?

[Zeus42000]

I've been wondering since BB has crashed twice this weekend, why does it always crash? (Today it crashed when hero got on.)

Well.... I have caused it to crash a few times when using World Edit commands on a very large scale and also when I clear my plot. Although it usually doesn't happen that often, I could see it happening a few times each week because of those reasons alone. This is not to mention the server restarts and other crashes or bugs in the systems that might also be at fault. All-in-all, these situations are to be expected in minecraft servers, and should not be regarded as too serious unless in quick succession or for large time intervals. I do however appreciate your concern on the matter, as being cautious will pay off in the future. If anything strange occurs, it would be best to contact a server administrator or check the forums, as most information about this is usually posted. Do not worry, there is nothing wrong with Buildbox at the moment :D

HeroOfTime125 has walked into his plot, which causes it to crash .-.

Yup, for some reason the server crashes when HeroOfTime125 goes into his plot, so that crashed it a few times. The server also occasionally crashes when someone performs a huge worldedit action or clears their plot.

It was Hero it seems, however the problem is that server has been down since the crash today.

If there is a bug, it's best to report it to staff so that we can get on it right away :)

One of the main issues I have found is using large scale worldedit that also affects the lighting engine. This crashing may be triggered by the vast number of chunks updating their lighting levels. I'm not too sure though. Someone with the engine knowledge help me here.

Just a suggestion:
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/async_worldedit/

Bukkit's improved their async events vastly so this should be quite stable. It's pretty hard to explain what it does (in lay-mans terms), but basically, it doesn't execute the block updates at the same time as everything else. Ie. Chat and other build events will still run, even if it's a huge world-edit and takes time :)

Nup, no way to explain it if you don't know java TL;DR: It reduces lag (and actually works)
