Minecraft – Can’t connect to Tekkit server, lagged out by floating blocks

minecraft-java-edition

I am running a Tekkit 3.1 Server on a Linux Debian 64 bit virtual machine with 4GB ram allocated for it. Today, I noticed a lot of lag, and then went to my quarry and noticed I didn't have my teleport pipe at the right frequency. Before I could pick up the blocks I was lagged out, and now I can't connect. When I try my client give me a grey screen. I stopped the server immediately to prevent more block from piling up, but I still can't connect.

How can I save my map? Is there a way to remove all broken floating blocks?

First of all, try stopping the quarry; if you can do it, it'll be much easier to fix it, since the items will despawn automatically. Otherwise, you can try to use MCEdit and remove the item entities that are causing the lag.
