Help: Server keeps crashing after the latest update

[southp]

Our family have a dedicated server hosted on Nodecraft for years without single crash, but somehow it starts crashing randomly since the latest update. The build number is 17538929.

Although I'm not entirely sure if it relates, one thing I noticed is that there is always "missing reference" logs before crashing:

Has anyone experienced this? I'd be grateful for any guidance.

Just have crashed again. Here is a snippet of the log in case it helps.

Just noticed that there were also suspicious lines about `Could not find anim [breach_pst] in bank [lunarthrall_plant_vine_big]`:

It turned out to be I had to fully remove the Simple Health Bar mod. I thought disabling it was enough, but it'd actually still be registered upon server start-up. Manually removing all the files of it has resolved the issue for me
