Hello! In this guide, we’ll explain how to identify the dependencies of your mods and plugins. This is important because some of them require additional files to work correctly.
Detecting Missing Plugin Dependencies
For this tutorial, we’ll use the plugin WorldGuard as an example:
Start the server.
Go to the console.
Here, you can identify any missing dependencies—read the messages carefully:
The error indicates that the WorldEdit plugin is required for WorldGuard to work.
When downloading a plugin, the required dependencies are usually listed on the download page.
To fix this, simply download the missing dependency/plugin, install it, and start the server.
Type the command pl in the console. If the plugins appear in green, it means they are working correctly.
Missing Mod Dependencies
For mods, it’s the same process—check the console to see which dependencies are required.
If you can’t find the missing dependency in the console, go to the most recent file in the "crash-reports" folder and look for the missing dependency there.
Once you find the required file, download it, install it, and start the server. Conclusion
