Rare error when loading plugins

[ThrowerWay]

Expected behavior

This error should probably be handled, currently it isn't and causes a pretty catastrophic error causing no plugins to load at all, the server does not crash however

I am unable to reproduce this without any reproduction steps. Both the latest build and 409 start and load plugins without any errors, on both Linux and Windows systems.

How are you running the server? Are you using symlinks or something similar? Are you using modified Paper in some way (considering its not a build from our website)?

[Owen1212055]

It should be noted that now plugin loading errors like this will cause the server to not load. This is intentional, as in general, we want to be more careful in the plugin lifecycle process as we continue to expose more registry-related stuff... and with that, plugins that are unloaded could cause potential data loss.

Closing this as stale, without reproduction steps we cannot investigate this further, sorry.
