Server Implementation

Spigot

Server Version

1.16.5

Describe the bug

I'm trying to load FAWE on 1.16.5 with java 16 because I can't use java 17 with 1.16.5 but it simply won't load.
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/sk89q/worldedit/bukkit/WorldEditPlugin has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 60.0

To Reproduce

1. Use java 16 and spigot
2. put fawe jar inside plugins folder
3. start server
4. /plugins show the plugin in red / not loaded

Expected behaviour

the plugin should load in a way

You have to use Java 17 in order for FAWE to work.

This should solve your problem:

1. Install and boot the server with Java 17
   (For help, see https://docs.papermc.io/java-install-update)
2. Add
   -Paper.IgnoreJavaVersion=true to
   your JVM flags (before -jar)
