1. I understand my server isn't running 1.12.2, however, I prefer 1.8. 2. How can I get a compatible version? PS: Thanks for the help!
Are you using multicraft or isit a self host server? You probably need to change your jar file to 1.8 if u want it to work.
1. If you prefer to run super outdated software, you're on your own. It's impossible for us to provide support for 4 year old versions of software. 2. You could look into some super old versions of Essentials and hope you'll find a version that still supports 1.8. It's really simple. You're running 4 year old oudated software, plenty of plugins nowadays are simply no longer supporting 1.8. None the less, a ton of issues seen in 1.8 are fixed long time ago in the latest versions, such as major security exploits. If you want to run 1.8, be our guest, nobody is stopping you, but you have to realise that you're not getting any support from anyone if you run 4 year old outdated software.
Get EssentialsX, its working on 1.8 Super old but its the most played version of Minecraft. Also its 3 years old and much players prefer playing on 1.8 instead on 1.12
Many servers till date still run 1.8 and it's easy to find an essentials 1.8 jar file. Don't go flaming people like that. Thanks.
Here is a link to the essentials files for 1.8. https://hub.spigotmc.org/jenkins/job/Spigot-Essentials/
I still prefer playing on 1.8 instead of 1.12. For me the versions after 1.10 are fully filled with crap and sh*t
