FQQD!!!!

Some players experience lag and disconnect randomly

Hey everyone, I have a seemingly impossible problem - let's see if someone here can help me. I host a Fabric Minecraft server on my VPS using CraftyController, and every few hours some of the players (who has the problem differs every time) experience a lot of lag and sometimes get kicked. The connection is stable otherwise. The mods used on the server are attached as a screenshot. However, the server seems to still be running fine and CPU, RAM and TPS are all okay. There also isn't a real error in the console, only sometimes after a while it throws: 
[21:22:00] [Netty Epoll Server IO #4/WARN]: Failed to deliver packet, sending fallback clientbound/minecraft:system_chat
io.netty.channel.StacklessClosedChannelException: null
    at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel.close(ChannelPromise)(Unknown Source) ~[netty-transport-4.1.118.Final.jar:?]

On a client which is experiencing the problem it throws:

We also noticed that if you move a lot in that moment, you're more likely to get disconnected. I suspect this has to do with the connection to server, and it's caused by the provider - or am I wrong?

Are you using your own hardware or a hosting website

I'm using a hosting provider (https://server.unesty.net, to be exact)

I was going to say if you are using something like playit and self hosting then I would've understood the problem lol

oh, i see. But no, I think it's a hoster problem to be honest... For the record: The issue is seemingly fixed since I edited the SRV DNS record used to point to my Minecraft server to only point to an IPv4-only host domain. Seems like Minecraft, Fabric or one of the mods still doesn't fully work with IPv6.
