[Client] End of Stream error - join the discussion!

Although the 'End of Stream' error isn't a new issue, it seems recent changes in Minecraft 1.5 has made this error occur much more frequently. In an effort to diagnose and address this issue, I'd like to start a discussion on it and provide a list of questions for people to answer that will, hopefully, help point us to what the cause is.

Please note, this discussion is related to client issues only!

If you encounter the End of Stream error when connecting to a Bukkit server, please help us troubleshoot this problem by answering the following questions:

Please note: we are not interested in reports regarding the End of Stream error you get when you are killed and don't hit the respawn button. This is a bug that's been in Miencraft for a while and not game breaking. We're only interested in game breaking End of Stream issues, like when you connect to a server and you get an End of Stream message, for example.

 

Are you interested in this if it's intermittent? Most all of my users experience the "end of stream, end of stream, bad login, bad login" every once in a while when you leave and try to rejoin...

 

Different issue. What you're describing is due to the DoS protection that was added a while back into Minecraft.

I am not sure if this is happens to all of my users or if this is a client/server problem (if this isn't a client please tell me so I can go post this to the other thread).

I also want to get this issue fixed? I am not sure if it can get fixed, or if this thread is for that... so some direction will be appreciated

I cannot answer some of these questions because idk how to check if you tell me I will give you an answer asap.

Also, this problem happened to me when I died after using the /spawn command. I was using v744(or 40 whatever the recommended build was), Permissions, iChat and Essentials. I updated but the problem continue. The problem stops when I take out all of my plugins.

Basically everytime I log on it sends me over to the 'Game Over' screen and if I click respawn it says
Connection Lost

End of Stream

or if I let it be and not touch anything, it tells me

Disconnected by Server

Internal Server Error

I host my own server, so this is where I am not sure if it is something with the program or the server? I get this warning message as well:

I run a server for my friends and I to play on. Recently I made the switch to Bukkit to be able to run server-side modifications. Before, we were having no issues with these types of crashes. Now, these crashes happen every few minutes. No specific action seems to cause it directly as the crashes are quite random. The server stays running, but the client gets the error that you see in the picture and the server console gets the flood of [SEVERE] messages.

Got any ideas?

EDIT: 5/15/2011: Just wanted to add some more detail. See this post I found at the official minecraft forums. I've been able to reproduce the fact that it did not happen before we made the switch to Bukkit. Only the Bukkit copy of our server with the mods installed did not work.. I even did a fresh Bukkit install without any mods and it still experienced the crashes. To do this, I copied over the world files from the original world onto the world files generated by the Bukkit server. I have 4 gig of the best ram you could buy roughly 8 months ago and had a total of 4 players with large bases and many many caves explored and experienced no lag or crashes the entire time.

 

Several of my users have been reporting this issue. At random times they will try to log in and get the "end of stream" error. Usually trying multiple times does not result in a change for them. I have yet to see any errors related to them not being able to log in on the console. I posted this thread to our forums, hopefully those who have been having issues will post their specs here.

If there is something I can do to expedite testing and confirmation of this issue, please let me know.

 

It seems I have found a fix for this error. To stop getting endOfStream errors on both the client side and the server side, I started a new bukkit server, let it generate a new world on its own, copied over only the world (players included), plugins, and any backup files from the world I wanted to save, and voila. Only one client side endOfStream error since then, and now it's been over 24 hours since the last one. Even though the one error still happened, I'm considering it fixed because it hasn't happened since.

Do you still have these problems when you run Minecraft without any mods?
Running minecraft alone without Craftbukkit works with no problems

Additional information, I dont play the game, but I am in IT. when a user logs on and gets the error there is a pause on the server sometime after the error then a bunch of space scrolls on the console and the NIC shuts down, Restarting the computer and NOT loading Craftbukkit is the only way to get the NIC back funtional. I have updated the drivers. Builds up to 688 give a different end of streem error and make no attemt to log on. the problem starts with the 15.02 V builds 689 and up cause the end of streem and locking the NIC.

I have also created a completly new server (software only, same hardware) with identical results. When the Craftbukkit is not running the server can be accessed from the local internal IP or the external IP. with Craftbukkit running the server can not be accessed by internal or external clients.

UPDATED:
After reading through some of the forums, I loaded Bukkit on a diferent machine and had no issues with it, the posting that caught my attention was one reguarding my Network Interface Card apparently it dosnt have a problem with the minecraft .jar file, but craftbukkit somehow has an adverse interaction with it. I have not resolved this yet, as the server is in use at the moment, but we plan on adding a new NIC to it tonight at some point and re-testing the situation. when this is done I will update again with those results.

 

ok so this is really weird. I am running a 32 bit mac OS X leopard, so that means I cannot get java 6. so I use soylatte. I also use soylatte to start my server, and this is what I put into the start.command thing:
#!/bin/bash
if ["$JAVA_HOME" == ""]
then
JAVA_HOME=/users/nathaniel/soylatte/
echo JAVA_HOME is not set: trying default location
fi

PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
cd "/Users/nathaniel/desktop/server"
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui

it works fine with just the normal start command, like without the java stuff. also, the server starts fine and runs and says all the plugins work and everythings fine, until I try to connect, where I quickly run into the end of stream error. Is there something I did wrong with the java stuff to run it on soylatte? help, I have no clue whats going on here. PLEASE I NEED HELP

 

hello, i am hosting a bukkit server with like 20 plugins and me and all my players are getting the endofstream error like every 10 or 15 mins thats very anoying. Anyone have a solution cuz i NEED help please!

 

I got a big problem. I have the least bukkit, Windows 7 and all the other things. I starting the server in online mode. And Only I can Join the game. The others get error messages like: "End Of Stream" & "Connection Timed Out"
My friends have bought the game. But what are my problem? Can someone help me?

 

I'm having the same problem.

 

I get sometimes get this error when I toggle full screen. I'm the owner of the server, and the other players (with much slower computers) don't get it.

 

Has there been any recommendations on fixign this? i have players who get EOS after no more than connecting? i removed all plugins its not helping. Myself i have no issues at all with it. Server has plenty of system resources as well. Only thing i can think if the VM NIC

 

I keep getting this ALL THE TIME, on every build later then #1000
I don't get it, it doesn't go any further than connecting, then it immediately says End of stream.
In fact it looks as if it doesn't even connect.

EDIT: Figured it out, for anyone who wants to know this, it was BukkitContrib/Spout

 

video card would have nothing to do with a cmd based server error

i have tried to install Planes, Enderman, Super Slopes, and finite liquids to bukkit, they are the right version, but once im done installing the mods to Itemcraft.jar, and uncommenting the stuff, removing META-INF from Craftbukkit.jar.

yes

 

It happens when you join the server, then leave / interrupt the connection.

Maybe it could be fixed by opening a new socket or whatever it uses to connect, after the user cancels the operation?

 

I have two servers running on my home network, one is a large multiworld server, the other is single-world. Both are bukkit. Both of them have this error. After logging off one, both of them will kick End of Stream errors in the client's server list... this leads me to believe it may be network hardware-related. After refreshing several times, eventually I will be able to log back on. This seems unrelated to the number of players online at the time.

System info for the multiworld server:
