Server Crashes after 1.17 update

[Theenderostritch]

Updated my server to 1.17 and now every time I start, it it crashes after about 5 minutes due to a skript error "Parsing block state [level=0] failed! (brewing.sk, line 80: {cauldron level} cauldron?s = minecraft:cauldron')". 

I do not have brewing.sk in my skripts folder and I cannot disable it using commands, logs are below.

That is not why your server is crashing. I get that error too, my server is totally fine. It's a bug with Skript. The REAL reason your server is crashing is.. well.. just because that's just how updating server versions work. More often than not, it'll corrupt your world.

All of your console errors are PAPER errors (chunk errors, too). Did you switch server versions? Ex. Spigot to Paper.

I also see an error for Skript default database.

[07:24:02] [Paper Watchdog Thread/ERROR]:         Skript.jar//ch.njol.skript.variables.VariablesStorage$1.run(VariablesStorage.java:75)
[07:24:02] [Paper Watchdog Thread/ERROR]:         java.base@16.0.1/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:831)
[07:24:02] [Paper Watchdog Thread/ERROR]: ------------------------------
[07:24:02] [Paper Watchdog Thread/ERROR]: Current Thread: Skript variable save thread

So, here are my solutions for YOU;

1. Turn on your server. Then, turn it offline. Go into your Skript folder and delete variables.csv, then start your server.

2. Backup all your Skripts in a notepad file. Turn your server to offline, delete Skript entirely. Start your server up, also check if it stops crashing, and if it was successfully deleted, reinstall it and put all your Skripts back.

2. Completely reset your world (backup first!!) Though I only recommend this if you have more than one backup slot. No guarantee your server will ever return to normal without a clean restart.
