Troubleshoot Plugin Conflicts and Errors
Identify the Problem
When plugins misbehave, check your server's latest log file (usually in the logs folder). Look for error messages or stack traces that mention specific plugins. Common issues include incompatible versions, missing dependencies, or conflicting functionality.
Test for Conflicts
1. Disable half your plugins by moving their JAR files out of the folder
2. Restart and test if the problem persists
3. Gradually re-enable plugins to isolate the culprit
4. Once identified, check if a newer version of the conflicting plugin exists
Verify Compatibility
Ensure each plugin supports your current Minecraft and Sponge versions. The plugin's documentation or download page will list compatible versions. If a plugin is outdated, look for maintained alternatives from the community.
If errors continue, consult the plugin developer's support channels or the Sponge community forums with your full error log.
