Any ideas ?

Thanks

 

For one make sure your plugin.yml starts in com.bukkit.Logon.Whitelist.Whitelist assuming Whitelist is the name of your main class, if not change that last word to the name of your main class. Also make sure your plugin.yml is not in the package, it shouldn't be in any package for that matter.

Feel free to pm me with any other questions.

 

Thanks ! I only had com.bukkit.Logon.Whitelist so i didn't tell the plugin loader what class was my main Thank !
