Hello everyone! ๐ŸŽฎโœจ

Today we bring you a super useful guide ๐Ÿ“• on how to deal with those annoying dependency๐Ÿ“‚ errors in mods and plugins on your Minecraft server. Let's fix those problems so your server runs smoothly!

While most mods and plugins are standalone installations that only require uploading the respective file to the๐Ÿ“‚ mods or plugins folder, some need additional dependencies to work correctly. These dependencies are essential because, without them, the mod or plugin won't work.

โ—Common problemโ—: ๐Ÿšจ "My server crashes when trying to load a mod/plugin."

  • Cause: A dependency๐Ÿ“‚is missing.
  • Solutionโœ”๏ธ: The server console๐Ÿ’ป usually gives you a detailed line indicating which mod/plugin is not loading and which one you need for it to work correctly. ๐Ÿ“œ

If a mod is causing problems and is not essential for your gaming experience๐ŸŽฎ, you can simply remove it.

Steps to follow:

  1. Access๐Ÿ‘‰the server console.
  2. Identify๐Ÿ”Ž the mod causing the problem.
  3. Remove itโŒ from the mods/plugins folder.
  4. Restart๐Ÿ”„ your server.

If the mod is essential and you don't want to remove it, you can install the missing dependency.

Steps to follow:

  1. Read the error message in the server console. This will tell you which dependency is missing.
  2. Downloadโฌ‡๏ธ the required dependency.
  3. Upload the dependency to the mods/plugins folder.
  4. Restart your server.

โš ๏ธCommon problem : โŒ"I don't know which dependency is missing."โŒ

  • Cause๐Ÿ˜ฑ: The error line can be confusing or may not clearly indicate the dependency.
  • Solutionโœ”๏ธ: Search for the mod name on Google or on forums like CurseForge. Many times other players have already faced the same problem and posted the solution. ๐ŸŒ

And that's it! With these steps, you'll be able to fixโœ”๏ธ most missing dependency errors on your Minecraft server. We hope this guide was helpful and remember, don't hesitate to ask on HolyHosting Discordย or contact our support team. Follow us on Twitter (@HolyHosting) to stay up to date.
