org.spongepowered.server.launch.VanillaServerMain
SpongeVanilla is loaded but
NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/logging/log4j/Level
Log4J is not.
A library is missing, maybe the server was not correctly setup.

If you’re using SpongeVanilla then you have to run the spongevanilla .jar file

Try delete the libraries folder and launch SV if this doesn’t work.
