Hello HolyHosting community! 🌟
Today we’re going to tackle an error many of you have encountered: "Unable to access jarfile /jar/minecraft_server.jar." This happens when the server can’t locate the designated .JAR file. Don’t worry — here’s a step-by-step guide to fix it easily. 🚀

Why Does This Error Happen? 😟
This error usually occurs if:
The .JAR file ☕ has an incorrect name.
The original file has been deleted or moved.
Solution via the Panel
Stop the server from the Server Panel.

Go to the Files section and check the name of the JAR file.

Rename the .jar file to match the name you just verified.


Save the changes and restart the server.
Common Issue ⚠️: "The file cannot be found in the Jar folder" ☕
Solution: Make sure you’re in the correct folder and that the JAR file actually exists. If not, upload the file again.
Repairing the Server Installation
If the above didn’t work:
Stop the server from the Server Panel.
Select “Reset Server Files.”

This will re-download the necessary base files, including the JAR file and any mods required for the version. Conclusion
