Common issues

This page helps you troubleshoot frequent EventDirector problems.

The plugin does not start​

Check:

  • compatible server version;
  • correct .jar file;
  • console errors;
  • missing dependencies;
  • generated configuration files.

Suggested fix:

  1. stop the server;
  2. check console/log files;
  3. verify the .jar file;
  4. temporarily remove modified configuration files;
  5. restart;
  6. if it starts, restore configurations one by one.

A command does not work​

Possible causes:

  • missing permission;
  • command changed in the current version;
  • alias not registered;
  • plugin not loaded;
  • console error.

Check with:

/eventdirector version

The GUI does not open​

Check:

  • eventdirector.gui or equivalent permission;
  • console errors;
  • server compatibility;
  • required GUI dependencies for your build.

An event does not start​

Possible causes:

  • event is disabled;
  • condition is not met;
  • filter is too restrictive;
  • invalid YAML configuration;
  • plugin is in safe mode;
  • missing permissions.

Rewards are not given​

Check:

  • reward command syntax;
  • placeholders;
  • whether the player is online;
  • economy or reward plugin permissions;
  • console errors.

YAML is invalid​

Typical symptoms:

  • plugin cannot load configuration;
  • event is ignored;
  • console errors appear;
  • value is not recognized.

Fix:

  • check indentation;
  • remove tabs;
  • use quotes for complex text;
  • compare with a working file;
  • restore a backup if needed.

Plugin is in safe mode​

If EventDirector is in safe mode, some features may be blocked.

Check with:

/eventdirector safemode status

Disable it only after fixing the problem:

/eventdirector safemode off
