Uh oh! 🦝

Could you maybe send over the latest log file from your server files?

If you click on the Files tab of your server panel and then open up the logs folder, it should just be called "latest"

Or you can find the latest one chronologically

Would you be able to send over just that full file here? (Like as an attachment, don't worry about copying/pasting the contents or anything)

📎 latest.log

I'm a fraid this one looks really incomplete.

Is this from your server's logs folder? If so, could you DM me a link to your server panel page?

#

Looks like you've got a file issue even apart from your mods. It could be an issue with your modloader installation itself, or a file that's malformed.

Was the server working at all before? I know you mentioned just buying the server and being in the process of getting things uploaded.

I'd try using the Reinstall button on the Minecraft JAR tab of your panel (under Minecraft Tools) to reinstall the modloader. Just be sure to click the option to install it on top of existing files:

Sounds good!

#

doesnt look like that fixed it

Ahh, was worth a shot.

In that case, you'd end up needing to reach out to us in a ticket so we've got access to your panel to poke around and see what exactly's going wrong.

Generally here in the Discord we can look, but not really change, y'know? But we respond super quick over tickets as well, so you won't be stuck waiting or anything!
