Actions to reproduce (if known)

Unknown, this seems to happen at random in completely different parts of the map but it is consistently triggered by net.minecraft.world.entity.npc.EntityVillagerTrader

Paper version

This server is running Paper version git-Paper-17 (MC: 1.20) (Implementing API version 1.20-R0.1-SNAPSHOT) (Git: c287e92)
You are running the latest version

Other

This has happened 3 times now; once last night before a regularly scheduled backup, once after i restarted the server so people could get on and just now while running /plugins and /version.

1.20 is super duper outdated and unsupported. Please update to a supported version in 1.20.4 or 1.20.6.

[lands39]

we're running 1.20 as this is before villager trades were nerfed and the general consensus is that everyone wanted 1.20. we will not be updating and would like a solution to this problem as its a recurring issue preventing people from playing.

You mean the optional trade rebalance? That was added in 1.20.2 and is not part of the game by default. In any case, you're on your own on such an old version

[lands39]

1.20 isn't old, what about the major servers that still run 1.12.2? do you just, not support those servers? i'm not taking no as an answer.

[lynxplay]

Indeed, we are also not offering support to 1.12.2 servers!
This is a project ran by volunteers in their free time, maintaining more than one (maybe two versions) at the same time is not possible 👍

Large servers that (for whatever reason) remain on older versions usually have development staff capable of forking and maintaining paper for their specific version.

There's no reason not to update because the thing you're trying to avoid isn't actually a thing
