Do it poorly i guess

Expected behaviour

Server should start

Actual behaviour

Server doesn't start

can you send over a few files in plugins/Essentials/userdata. Censor them for ip addresses and related information before sending.

Here's a couple. The "mail: []" type at the end was generated by essentials when converting from the legacy playerdata files, which don't have that variable. playerdata-samples.zip

For tracking, this appears to be an issue with Configurate: https://github.com/SpongePowered/Configurate/issues/411

Waiting for a fix from them before I can do anything
