I'm trying to have a friend join my Minecraft server. For some reason, when he joins the server, his avatar just stays in one place and then after about 15 seconds he is kicked off the server. The weird thing is, he is able to move around on his end for a little bit but all I see on my end is him trapped in one spot.
We both have official Minecraft licenses (As I paid for them both) and are playing on the latest version. The server is a Linux server running on AWS and is running the java dedicated server version 1.16.5. I've been using this server successfully with other players for over a year and I haven't seen this problem. No firewall rules are enabled on the server. I'm wondering if there is some setting that I'm missing. Any ideas?

His player probably can't move because of the fact that he needs to check his internet connection, according to another comment. If his camera can move around but you can't, you are probably able to interact with other things, such as breaking ground. If he is frozen on your end but moving for a bit on his end, that is common for a bad connection. So, in all, you should have your friend check your internet connection. Hopefully, he can start moving again!
