Hey everyone. I used to be the host of a spigot server, but since I've recently stopped playing, I gave the server files to a friend so he could host. The server used to be working fine before I transferred the files, but now none of the plugins are loading. We've tried looking online but we can't find a fix. Can anyone help?
This is what console shows when it starts up: [15:02:58 INFO]: Starting minecraft server version 1.8.9 [15:02:58 WARN]: To start the server with more ram, launch it as "java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar" [15:02:58 INFO]: Loading properties [15:02:58 ERROR]: Exception handling console input java.io.IOException: The handle is invalid at java.io.FileInputStream.readBytes(Native Method) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at java.io.FileInputStream.read(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read1(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.readBytes(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.implRead(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.read(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at java.io.InputStreamReader.read(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at java.io.BufferedReader.fill(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at java.io.BufferedReader.readLine(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at java.io.BufferedReader.readLine(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_77] at ko$2.run(SourceFile:81) [minecraft_server.1.8.9.jar:?] [15:02:58 INFO]: Default game type: CREATIVE [15:02:58 INFO]: Generating keypair [15:02:58 INFO]: Starting Minecraft server on *:25565 [15:02:58 INFO]: Using default channel type [15:02:58 INFO]: Preparing level "OregCity" [15:02:58 INFO]: Preparing start region for level 0 [15:02:59 INFO]: Preparing spawn area: 53% [15:03:00 INFO]: Done (1.582s)! For help, type "help" or "?"
I don't think that server is Spigot/Bukkit. The only servers that support plugins are Spigot/Bukkit/and forks. The default Mojang minecraft server doesn't support plugins. Download/build a spigot server (Google) and run from that.
