[karmic nest]

do you get any errors in console?

when you load it?

[formal willow]

no

[karmic nest]

do /pl

do you see your plugin

[formal willow]

no

[karmic nest]

aha

you need to make

plugin.yml

and if you already did

then restart the server

after you add a plugin

or use sth like /reload or plugman

restarting is always safer tho

but for your plugin anything should work

[formal willow]

that doesn't do anything

[karmic nest]

?

are you running spigot?

or bukkit

[formal willow]

oh I've forgot to restart the server

[karmic nest]

or paper

[karmic nest]

oh

[formal willow]

I don't have my plugin in /pl

[karmic nest]

(0)?

hm

[karmic nest]

did you make plugin.yml

did you copy plugin to the plugins folder?

[formal willow]

where did I put plugin.yml ?

[karmic nest]

somewhere

in the project

i put it in root

but idk

[formal willow]

no, in my plugin folder

[karmic nest]

nonono

plugin.yml

is something you do on your IDE

[formal willow]

yes i do

[karmic nest]

to then compile your plugin with it

[formal willow]

ow ok

[karmic nest]

EVERY plugin must have plugin.yml to work

[karmic nest]

ok

but your project files?

i have it on src/main/java

plugin.yml

[karmic nest]

show me plugin.yml

[formal willow]

main: fr.yuna.europemc.Main
name: EuropeMC_1.16.3
version: 1.0
description: EuropeMC
api-version: 1.16.3

commands:
   hello:
      description: HelloWorld!

[karmic nest]

hm

try putting the plugin.yml in src

[formal willow]

k

doesn't work

[karmic nest]

huhhh

[karmic nest]

yes

that doesnt matter

[formal willow]

ok

[karmic nest]

can you send me the plugin?

[formal willow]

yes

[karmic nest]

ok

set api-version to 1.16

recompile

and try again

@formal willow

[formal willow]

yes

[karmic nest]

sry for taking long i was downloading and decompiling the plugin

[karmic nest]

.

remove the .3

[formal willow]

yes i did it and my server reboot

[karmic nest]

ok

does it work?

[formal willow]

sry for my english level

[formal willow]

the server is still in starting

doesn't work

[karmic nest]

huh

send me the plugin again

[karmic nest]

its still

1.16.3

you need to change it to 1.16

or remove api-version all together

[formal willow]

no I change it

ok

[karmic nest]

well you didnt export it properly

the one you sent still has .3

[formal willow]

ow

ok I will change that

[karmic nest]

o wait

no

now it work

s

for me

the new one you sent me

work

[formal willow]

but why it doens't work for me ?

[karmic nest]

well idk

[formal willow]

are you on 1.16.3 ?

[karmic nest]

1.17.1

but it is compatible

btw do /pl

it should appear

the plugin itself

doesnt work

but it should load properly

now

[formal willow]

it doesn't work :/

if u want the ip is devplace.boxtoplay.com

[karmic nest]

but

do /pl

[karmic nest]

huh

is the new one on your plugins folder?

you sure

?

[formal willow]

yes

[karmic nest]

do /ver

[karmic nest]

u running bukkit?

try running spigot

instead of bukkit

[karmic nest]

or paper

[karmic nest]

ok

can you install plugman?

[formal willow]

what is this ?

[karmic nest]

a plugin to load plugins

[formal willow]

plugmanx ?

[karmic nest]

plugman

from devbukkit

not spigotmc

[formal willow]

ok it's downloaded

[karmic nest]

put it in

restart server etc

then do /pl

[formal willow]

already do

[karmic nest]

you should see plugman

[formal willow]

yea

[karmic nest]

ok

do /plugman load EuropeMC

sorry

mistype

[karmic nest]

check console

for errors

[karmic nest]

so thats the problem right there

your server

the jdk that the server runs on

doesnt support the one you used to compile it

if im understanding correctly

so its not a problem with the plugin itself

but what you compile it with and what jdk you run it on

im pretty sure that if you just run the server at your local computer

it would work

maybe im wrong

[formal willow]

I will test to build the plugin with the jdk of the server

[karmic nest]

oke

[karmic nest]

jre or jdk

maybe its jre

but idk much about this

but its more of a java as a whole question now

and not bukkit

[karmic nest]

the jre run by the server is lower than the one you compiled it with

[formal willow]

ok i will fix it

do you now what jre it is ?

[karmic nest]

nope

you run the server

idk

if you switch to 1.17

paper /spigot whatever

it should work

since 1.17 requires java 16 to work

so the server is forced to update

[formal willow]

so is the jre 16 ?

[karmic nest]

idk

but java version will be 16 or higher

if u use 1.17

[formal willow]

what is the jre on your server ?

[karmic nest]

idk

but i use java 16
