Yesterday it would be stuck on "Starting" and then after a few minutes would be stuck on "Stopping" then go offline. I tried force-hibernating it and reverting it to an older backup but it didn't work. Now it won't even go out of hibernating. It will go to the 30 second countdown thing but when I click continue, nothing changes, I'm put back at the dashboard and it is still in hibernation.

The difficulty of the server is on easy but I want it on hard. I've gone to the server settings and changed it from easy to hard and restarted it but it is still easy in-game. I thought that maybe it still appeared as easy in-game but was actually on hard mode so to test this I changed it to peaceful, restarted it, aaannnnd.... there were still mobs.
