Minecraft – Unable to locate Signs problem

minecraft-java-edition

What I have been having with my server the last few days is that there are massive holes all over my land; you can try jumping in them but you only go about one block down then you get stuck if you're on survival, and have to be /tp to get out. The other problem is that sometimes the server says UNABLE TO LOCATE SIGNS and all the stuff that I did just 5 minutess ago just vanishes. I think that's part of the holes in the ground bug.

Making sure the server software is completely up to date is always a good idea and first place to start.

I'm not sure of the problem's cause, but it's most likely server-side lag. It can be reduced by allocating more RAM to the server. Before you do this, try renaming the 'world' folder of the server. Launching it again will generate a new world. This will fix any world corruption problems.
