server doesnt start

[quantumtui]

i made a server yesterday, set it to a superflat world with the void preset, turned on command blocks, disabled mob spawning, etc., and i added worldedit, essentialsX, and essentialsX warps plugins. after setting it up i tried to start the world but when i clicked the button it said "starting" and then went offline again after about 30 seconds. ive tried repairing the core files, removing plugins, deleting all the .json files, and even making a new server but the same thing keeps happening. is there anything else i can do to fix this?

Do you get an error when you try to start it up?

[quantumtui]

on the website it just says starting and then switches to offline again
though when i try to start it from in minecraft i get an error message

Try checking the server logs. Here is how to get them if you don't know how.

You said you tried deleting all the json files right? cause in the logs, there seem to be errors with one of the json files. Try deleting ALL of them again and restart server after that. If that doesn't solve the problem either make a support ticket.

[quantumtui]

alright ill try that

[quantumtui]

when i went through and deleted them all i had deleted them all. going through again (all the folders and subfolders) i couldnt find any but logs.json (which i deleted) i tried starting it up again and it still didnt work.
do i make a support ticket now?

Make sure you deleted the actual files and just not the contents of the files. If that doesn't work, you can contact support at https://www.minehut.com/support/form
