Trying to launch my server and it keeps pausing and saying press any key to continue off startup, crashed mid game and started doing this, what could be the problem? i already tried updating paper, java and repairing java, i also even tried launching without plugins and even tried launching an older backup folder and all the same thing

1. You have some characters in the file path which are best avoided, the {} is likely to cause issues
2. Don’t run the server in a one drive folder
3. Given that it blows up after trying to init plugins, I’d imagine, test without them. Make sure you download them from a reputable site.
