its your plugin.yml

 

ZodiacTheories This is my plugin.yml

Code:

name: ChatHelp
version: 1.0
author: Gaz1812
main: me.gaz1812.ChatHelp.ChatHelp
description: Provides helpful commands to keep your chat clean!
  commands:
    chatclear:
      description: Clear the chat
      permission: ch.clear
      permission-message: §4Error: You can't do this.
      aliases: [cc]
    chatlock:
      description: Lock the chat
      permission: ch.lock
      permission-message: §4Error: You can't do this.
      aliases: [cl]
    staffchat:

      permissions-message: §4Error: You can't do this.
      aliases: [ch]

 

Actually, YML isn't 'itchy' about spacing in terms of amount, just in terms of consistency and being parallel. Although I'm pretty sure that most do just go by the standard of 2 space indents. Also 'works' isn't at all the same as doing it the way it should be done. For one example, let's say you do that line in a plugin called Test you'll quickly encounter a problem if I do this:

PHP:

((Main) Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("Test")).plugin = null;

Sure, I'm not saying I would do that, or that I couldn't still do harm, but should you really make it so easy?

gaz1812 Few things:

1) We'd need the full stack trace - would be easier
2) Third party builds aren't supported
3) Your problem was pointed out a long time ago.

 

Locked.
We do not support developing for unofficial builds.
