Server Keeps Crashing

[Bdrowning51]

Everytime I try and start the server, it doesn't work and I get a bunch of errors:

I'm pretty sure it is because of what I put in my generator settings, because everytime I get rid of the generator settings, the server is able to load again, but the world isn't customized the way I want it to be. Please help me

Yes that issue is cause of what you put in generator settings. That box has never worked for me. You could just create the world in singleplayer and use its generator settings and then just upload it to your server.

I can't quite do that because I play minecraft on my nintendo switch, so I cant upload worlds from my nintendo to my phone or chromebook

Oh so you don't have java edition to make the world from singleplayer. What kind of world are you trying to make? There are plugins that you may be able to use to make the worlds with instead.
