if i run the paper-1.20.4.jar it automatically creates a folder plugins and a file server.properties but i want it to rename them , the plugins to plugouts and the server.properties to notserver.properties how can i do that ,can i do this with JD-GUI ?
 
Solution
The server has startup flags to change the names of these files. The c or config flag changes the name of the server.properties file, which you can then name notserver.properties. For the plugins folder, you can use the P or plugins flag to change the name of the plugins folder to plugouts.

You'd include it in your start script. Where you'd have java -jar paper.jar, you'd append the startup flags. So for example java -jar paper.jar -P plugouts -c notserver.properties.

it says this
Unrecognized option: -c
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit . and done

Have you perhaps put the -c before the -jar? The -c should come at the very end. So, not like this.
Code:
java -c notserver.properties -jar paper.jar
Instead, like this.
Code:
java -jar paper.jar -c notserver.properties
