deleting 10,000 boats

[lucasabbott56]

so my friend decided to spawn 10,000 boats on me and it crashed the server.if you go anywhere in the chunk i was in you get frozen and everyone on the server crashes. However, if you arent anywhere near where i was, the game runs perfectly fine.so is there a way to delete the boats while not anywhere near where i was?keep in mind whenever i try to join im stuck looking at nothing but the empty sky then get kicked.thanks

Hey there,

If you have spawned in a lot of entities (mobs, items, etc.) and can't join your server, follow these steps.

1. Start your server.
2. Do NOT join your server when you start it. Instead, through the server console, run the command "/minecraft:kill @e[type=(entity)]". Replace "(entity)" with the entity you spawned in.
3. Join your server!

i tried it but i think that only works if the boats are placed down.these boats were items dropped on the ground

dropped_item is an entity type, so you can use it in the /kill command.
