Reset Server, Now it Can't Start?

[Zgell]

Hi everyone,

I've recently reset a server that I didn't need anymore so that I could do something new with it, but it now refuses to start. I've tried resetting the server and also repairing the core files several times with no luck.

Here is the most recent log from the server. I don't know enough about minecraft servers to make any sense of this.

Any clue on what to do to fix this?

There seems to be something wrong with the json files on your server. Try deleting all the json files in the main file manager. These should be

• ops.json
• whitelist.json
• banned-players.json
• banned-ips.json

After deleting those files, restart the server.

Didn't seem to fix the issue. I deleted all of the JSON files you listed above and I still got a really similar error (see here).

And to clarify, the server did not create any new JSON files after I restarted it. It crashed before it could get that far.

You said you just recently reset the server. Maybe try resetting it again or click repair files in the danger zone tab.

Added clarification for when JSON files were made

Just as a follow-up, I tried repairing core files and that didn't work.

However, I reset the server again and that did work. The server is working again.

After playing around with it a bit, I found out that it may have something to do with the fact that I was trying to generate a Superflat world as my default world. I don't know if the world generation features on Minehut are bugged (or even if this is a known bug or not), but from what I found while testing, that was likely the cause of the glitch.
