The path to your server jar has an !
. And no, it's not minecraft usernames, it's user names in general (account user names, or profile user names, both of which go into the pasths). That's what MCL-774 is about. Try renaming New Server!!
to New Server
. And yes, we know that the path to your server is New Server!!, because that's in the FileNotFoundException
.
It's not a Minecraft bug, it's a Java bug - see http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4523159.
The dependencies are present, but cannot load due to the !
(and that bug).
Thank you for your report!
