Server Crash upon Circular plugin loading from plugins AdvancedChat

[PythonChicken123]

Describe the bug

Description

I am encountering a circular plugin loading error when starting my Minecraft server (PurpurMC). The error message indicates a loop involving AdvancedChat, PremiumVanish, dynmap, Vault, and CMI. As the server tells me: "Please report this to the plugin authors of the first plugin of each loop or join the PaperMC Discord server for further help.", I came here to report this issue with many essentials to help you resolve this critical issue.

Server Version: Purpur 1.21 [Experimental] Server JAR: https://api.purpurmc.org/v2/purpur/1.21/2269/download Circular load order: AdvancedChat -> PremiumVanish -> dynmap -> Vault -> CMI -> AdvancedChat Plugin Versions:

• AdvancedChat: 1.3.3
• PremiumVanish: 2.9.12
• dynmap: 3.7-beta-6
• Vault: 1.7.4 (CMI-1.7.3)
• CMI: 9.7.4.6
• ProtocolLib [If necessary for PremiumVanish]: latest dev build
• CMILib [If necessary for CMI]: 1.5.0.9
• AdvancedEnchantments: 9.9.15

Spark Profiler of server started with -Dpaper.useLegacyPluginLoading=true : https://spark.lucko.me/2yhzruBLKT The entire server log starting the server with -Dpaper.useLegacyPluginLoading=true could be found at https://mcpaste.io/3a899c6945c70a94

Possible Solutions:

• Start the server with -Dpaper.useLegacyPluginLoading=true and let some plugins fail such as AdvancedEnchantments.
• I may report this error to Purpur if necessary.

Request:

• I would appreciate any assistance in resolving this circular dependency issue. Is there a way to configure these plugins to avoid the loop?
• Additionally, is there a known compatibility issue between AdvancedChat and AdvancedEnchantments when using the legacy plugin loading flag?

Final Words

Please fix this error as soon as possible, this is urgent since I require a chat plugin and AdvancedChat is the best plugin out there. If I wanted to keep the plugin while using the Legacy Plugin Loading Solution, I have to leave some plugins: PremiumVanish (to vanish on players and view the server without being) , CMI (Server Core), Vault (Economy), AdvancedEnchantments (More Enchantments and more) and finally dynmap (View the world). Without these plugins, it is impossible for me to start a amazing server. Again, please fix this error as soon as possible: I am able to provide more information for you to resolve this problem. Thanks for taking your time to review this bug.

How to reproduce

Add the latest plugins in to any purpur 1.21 minecraft server without starting the server with -Dpaper.useLegacyPluginLoading=true : "AdvancedChat, PremiumVanish, dynmap, Vault, and CMI" and watch the error occur upon the server finished remapping plugins and cache.

Should be fixed in the next version hopefully. Will keep this upon until new AChat version with this fix comes out, then let me know if the issue was fixed please.
