Describe the problem

Towny fails to load with versions at or above 0.100.2.0. I have not tested versions between 0.100.1.0 and 0.100.2.0; the issue may begin in them.

Tested:

• 0.99.5.12 to 0.100.2.13 (failed)
• 0.99.5.12 to 0.100.2.0 (failed)
• 0.99.5.12 to 0.100.1.0 (succeeded)
• 0.100.1.0 to 0.100.2.0 (failed)

It's possible that this is due to SettleScape being on an older version of Minecraft (1.17.1), or perhaps due to this latest version of Towny requiring a version of some third-party plugin that I cannot update due to a lack of 1.17.1 support. But to be honest, at this point I have no idea why this is failing. If I had the time right now, I'd test down the 0.100.1.X betas to see if I could find the exact point-release where the issue first arose; but it's already way past my bedtime as-is and I need to drive to another state for a conference today. Maybe you'll know what the issue is just by looking at the logs?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. ????
2. Update https://github.com/SettleScape/server to 0.100.2.0 or higher.

What is the expected output?

It should "just work".

This error was previously reported in #7399 and fixed in #7403 last month, do you have a log with the error happening on the latest pre-release?

do you have a log with the error happening on the latest pre-release?

Yes actually -- like I mentioned in the OP, I actually tried the latest pre-release first. But I'm away from my computer at present, and am going to be at Southeast Linuxfest all weekend. I'll try to get it to you when I can.

(The log in-question has been rotated, but still exists. I'll have to dig through a few until I find the right one.)
