The first time I started my server after installing FE there were no issues and I was able to use it as intended. After restarting the server, it always crashes now.

I've tried deleting the ForgeEssentials folder, redownloading the .jar, and removing mods but nothing seems to be working.

Why do you load OptiFine_1.12.2_HD_U_E3.jar on your server?
Also CTM-MC1.12.2-1.0.2.31.jar and Xaeros_Minimap_1.16_Forge_1.12.jar are client only mods too.

I see, thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and removed those from the server and the issue persists. I'm including the updated documentation.

2 Questions:

Can you run your server without the Obfuscate mod?
Is there anything in your ./world/FEdata folder and if so, can you upload it to gist?

I deleted the ./world/FEdata folder and that seems to have been the issue. I believe it might have been caused by an incorrect permission syntax.

Thanks for your help @Zethalion
