Please put all you *.json files through json linter - ops.json, whitelist.json, ...

Probably one of those got corrupted.

This repository is for issues relating to Paper, not Spigot. If you have an issue with Spigot I recommend asking on their forums.

Please, for the love of all tacos, burritos, or any diety you wish to worship, DO NOT USE THAT WEBSITE!!!

Only download paper from our website at https://papermc.io/downloads

But to fix the issue, delete the generator-settings from server.properties

apparently mojang broke that.

TheArcaneBrony commented 4 years ago

no need to re-open but "do not use that website", which website?

aikar commented 4 years ago

server jars

guoguoaidaogu commented 3 years ago

I had the same problem as yours. I found it on Mojang website that they broke the 'generator-settings' option on Minecraft versions 1.13+. So maybe you should delete the option in server.properties and restart your server. 😄
