I closed my server like I've done tens of times by doing /stop, and then starting it via the dashboard. Now the servers refuses to start and this is the crash log. I've tried putting in /gamerule randomTickSpeed 0 - 5 multiple times on startup, but it doens't work. I've tried repairing the files and restoring the server from a savefile, and it doesn't work. There is literally no reason that this started happening.

// Surprise! Haha. Well, this is awkward.
