Hey there, newcomer to this mod. I run a vanilla server and the group decided to try this mod. So far they're really liking their plays in client-hosted mode, and have asked me to put up the server so they don't have to keep running it themselves.
I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 with 10 GB of RAM, plenty of swap (because I saw how much this thing gobbles). However I'm apparently having issues getting the server to do such simple tasks like loading the core XML files.
I've submitted a ticket on the GitLab project but I guess that's not the place to solicit help so here I am.
In summary, server essentially falls over because it can't load things like blocks.xml, and even though it lists itself and clients can (try to) join, it basically doesn't work. No explicit crash (well, besides the exception handler swallowing things will unhelpful messages), and I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong.
Log pastebin for the server is https://pastebin.com/ckAcXvGf
Server config xml is https://pastebin.com/Ub0YWACy
Steps I followed was duplicate the Steam vanilla server files, git clone the repo and copy everything into the copy, adjust the serverconfig.xml file and attempt to start the server.
Any idea on how I can begin diagnosing the issue?
