I know this has already been asked and answered, however I don't know how to sync configs with the minecraft server (its a dedicated host we are paying for) if you could give me an explanation as to how that would be awesome thanks!

Make sure the stuff in the configs folder is the same on your client and the dedicated server. I can't tell you how to run your server, ask your hoster.

Oddly enough, breaking the table and having it drop on the floor does not crash, and usually going into it a second time to add the same changes to the tool works, at least it did for me the three times I've run into this problem already on my server, which is 100% using the same for configs as the client.
