  • So, I recently uploaded a world, not sure if that is the problem, but my server will not start. It goes through the queue, "Loading..." and then stops on "Starting..." for a few minutes then it says "Offline" in red letters. My plugins have been working fine for the entire time I've had my server, which is probably a little under a year. Any help? Thanks!

    Download you map, unzip it, delete the players folder, and reupload it as a zip.
