Need help cleaning up/fixing my Purpur 26.2 SMP setup

[/u/fantagotjuice]

I’m setting up a Java survival SMP called District SMP and I’m running into a few issues that I could use some help with.

The server is currently on Purpur 26.2 with Java 25, hosted on PebbleHost. It’s meant to be a survival/RPG style server with spawn NPCs, holograms, custom menus, jobs, crates, dungeons, economy, custom resource pack, etc.

For context, I originally had the server running on 1.21 because the spawn lobby/setup I was using had version requirements around that. Since then I’ve been trying to update everything properly and move the server over to 26.2, but some plugins and systems are not playing nicely with the newer version.

I originally started from a prebuilt survival setup, but I’ve been changing it into my own server and trying to clean it up properly. A lot is working now, but some of the main systems are being awkward because of 26.2/plugin compatibility.

Current setup:

- Purpur 26.2
- Java 25
- Hosted on PebbleHost
- TAB scoreboard working
- Citizens NPCs working
- Multiverse worlds fixed/imported
- Worlds are Spawn, districtsmp, districtsmp_nether, districtsmp_the_end, dungeon1, dungeon2
- FancyHolograms is green
- Resource pack is hosted on Dropbox and linked through server.properties
- MythicMobs/ModelEngine disabled for now
- Trying to use EliteMobs, FreeMinecraftModels and BetterStructures instead

Main issues:

1. ForcePack is red

ForcePack crashes on startup. The error says:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

and mentions:

GsonDataComponentValueConverterProvider not found

Then ForcePack disables itself.

So I’m currently using server.properties for the resource pack instead, but I’d like to know if ForcePack is just not working properly on Purpur 26.2 right now or if there’s a specific build/fix.

1. MythicMobs is also broken on 26.2

MythicMobs was crashing with an error about ServerVersion.getNMS() being null. I tried different versions and it still stayed red, so I disabled MythicMobs and ModelEngine.

I’m now trying to replace that side of the server with EliteMobs / FreeMinecraftModels / BetterStructures, but I’m not sure what the cleanest setup is for custom mobs, bosses, dungeons and models.

1. Holograms

FancyHolograms is green but some holograms weren’t showing because the old config used the world name “lobby”. I’ve changed the spawn holograms to “Spawn”, and dungeon holograms point to dungeon1/dungeon2.

Some holograms use custom font symbols, so I think some of them depend on the resource pack loading properly.

1. Resource pack

The server uses a custom resource pack for the scoreboard logo, hologram graphics, GUI icons, etc.

I’ve got it uploaded to Dropbox with dl=1 and added it to server.properties with:

require-resource-pack=true
resource-pack=direct Dropbox link
resource-pack-prompt=District SMP uses a custom pack for menus, holograms, icons and visuals.
resource-pack-sha1=

I’m trying to confirm if this is the best method for now since ForcePack won’t load.

Has anyone here dealt with Purpur 26.2 plugin compatibility, ForcePack, FancyHolograms/resource pack fonts, or replacing MythicMobs/ModelEngine with EliteMobs?

Any advice would help. I’m just trying to get the foundation stable before reopening the server.
