Troubleshooting

Plugin does not load

  • Make sure you are running Paper (or Purpur/Folia) 1.20+.
  • Check that the JAR is in the correct plugins/ folder.
  • Look at the server console for errors during startup.
  • Make sure you have Java 21 or higher.

Config changes not applied

  • Use the reload command instead of restarting.
  • Check for YAML syntax errors — missing colons, wrong indentation.
  • Use a YAML validator to check your config file.

Permission denied errors

  • Make sure the correct permission nodes are assigned via LuckPerms.
  • OP players bypass permissions by default — test with a non-OP account.
  • Check that your permissions plugin loads before this plugin.
