i try to start my server and then it says an exception stopped it and the crash report says: Caused by: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Expected name at line 5 column 1 path $[0].uuid

You most likely have a .json file that is not in the correct format.

There is not enough of the error there to determine what though. Please send over the latest.log and latest crash report.

Please send some logs over so we can help resolve your issue. To access logs on your Minecraft server, please navigate to your server panel's File Manager and take the following path:

1. Open the Server's File Manager
2. Navigate inside the 'logs' folder
3. Click on "latest.log" to download it and send the file over Discord to this channel.
(Do not send over any logs ending in .gz or we will not be able to assist you)

If your server is in a crash state (the server stops itself), please also attach a crash report, which can be found at the following path:

1. Open your server's File Manager
2. Navigate inside the 'crash-reports' Folder
3. Select the latest crash report by date/time and send it over Discord to this channel.

These files are required for debugging so, please send them over before requesting further assistance. No assistance can be provided without the files.

latest crash and log

#

The latest.log will be called "latest.log" exactly. It won't be the ones ending in .gz.

rapid musk Aug 15, 2025, 8:53 PM

#

this?

📎 latest.log

silver marlin Aug 15, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

Yup, thanks!

#

Is this a brand new, or existing install of the server?

Have you manually edited any of these files, or any files at all recently?

whitelist.json
ops.json
banned-players.json
banned-ips.json

rapid musk Aug 15, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

i havent touched anything until it started doing that

silver marlin Aug 15, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

Is this a brand new server, or do you have builds and progress on it?

rapid musk Aug 15, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

its a week old

silver marlin Aug 15, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

The only reference I'm finding is to xaero minimap in the crash log. Its possible its one of its config files.

I don't know off hand what configs it generates.

I'm getting pulled away at work, so I gotta pop out for a bit.

Ill do some digging when I get back, otherwise send the support staff a message on the website and they can look at this now.

ok

rapid musk Aug 16, 2025, 11:56 PM

#

Did you find out what’s wrong?

silver marlin Aug 17, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

Other then the possible relation to a possible xaero minimap file, no.

I'd suggest taking a backup and either deleting or renaming the different files for xaero minimap and seeing if the server boots after each one.

Or- send the support staff a message, they may have a better idea at this point.

I’ll try deleting xaero mininap

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 2:14 AM

#

could it potentally be this that causes the problem?

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 7:59 AM

Nvm it’s not

#

And also I made a backup and I reinstalled the mod pack and it fixed it but the world progress was gone

Had you changed the Level Name setting?

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 5:42 PM

#

No

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 5:49 PM

#

Then restore just the world folder from the backup! 🙂

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:01 PM

#

i did and it still doesnt work and it adds more problems

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 6:01 PM

#

What problems?

#

What doesn't work about it?

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:05 PM

#

the backup holds all of the files so if i reinstall the backup all of the files come back which just adds more problems like bountiful which doesnt work and a create addon which its recipes dont work, so i deleted those which solved those problems but the "exception" still stands

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 6:05 PM

#

You can restore just a selected group of files.

#

So just restore the world folder?

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:06 PM

#

ooooh

#

i backedup the world folder but still an exception : /

#

Caused by: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Expected name at line 5 column 1 path $[0].uuid\

That isn't enough error to know what's happening.

📎 latest_1.log

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

It's trying to read a .json file with a list of users, and the file isn't formatted correctly.

#

Delete the usercache.json file, and if you aren't using a whitelist, that file as well.

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

ok

#

still an exception

#

here are the logs

📎 latest_2.log

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 6:26 PM

#

Same error. Sadly, the logs don't say which file it's trying to read.

#

It does say the issue is trying to read a player's UUID on line 5... You can check/clear banned-players...

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:27 PM

#

there is a uuid on line 3 of banned players .json

#

because i banned someone who i eventually unbanned and deleted their info in banned players

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

Sounds like that's probably the issue. You can use /pardon to do it without editing the file.

#

Was anyone else banned?

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

nope

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 6:29 PM

#

Just delete the whole file, then.

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:29 PM

#

alright

#

still an exception

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 6:30 PM

#

Same one?

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:30 PM

#

different kind tthough

#

not.json

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 6:30 PM

#

Then new logs. 🙂

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:30 PM

#

Caused by: com.electronwill.nightconfig.core.io.ParsingException: Invalid value truek - Expected the boolean value true.

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 6:31 PM

#

Someone hand-edited a config file and typo'd the word true as truek.

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:36 PM

#

is there a way for me to find what file has that invalid value?

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 6:40 PM

#

Not without seeing the whole exception.

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 6:42 PM

there is no forge_server.toml file in config

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 7:29 PM

Luckily, there's a search box to help find it. 🙂

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 7:29 PM

#

it physically does not exist

#

there is client

#

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

Check forge-client, then?

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

there is no typo in forge-client.toml

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 9:56 PM

#

what if i reinstalled the modpack and then replaced the world data

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 9:56 PM

#

That's what I thought you had done?

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

no i havent tried that yet, will it work though?

small oriole Aug 17, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

But yeah, that would work.

#

You'll want to also restore server.properties

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

i downlaoded world folder and server properties

rapid musk Aug 17, 2025, 10:19 PM

#

i reinstalled the modpack but still the typo is somewhere in the files
