What behaviour is observed: it used to stop my server so i edited it to not stopping it, it worked but the server goes as if it doesnt have authme so it is unprotected

Environment description: idk, paper 1.16.4

Error Log:

Configuration:

i did and the error still appears

Too lazy to open AuthMe in my IDE right now but could genuinely be a bug, looking at the stacktrace. Though interesting to note that your database has some issue:

at fr.xephi.authme.datasource.SqlDataSourceUtils.logSqlException(SqlDataSourceUtils.java:23) ~[?:?]
at fr.xephi.authme.datasource.SQLite.getAccountsRegistered(SQLite.java:577) ~[?:?]

We don't know what since it then causes a logging issue but something goes wrong when it reads your DB

You should at least use the latest AuthMe version before reporting issues.
