Hello sponge,
I have gotten this error…I have looked up other posts with the same error, but this seems to be a bit different(I think).
Version: 1.10.2-5.1.0-BETA-366
I had to use the chmod a+x on the command line to launch the script. I have minecraft_server.jar- + lauch.commad- + SpongeVanilla.jar- + library files.

It is possible that downloading the original minecraft_server.jar failed. Have you tried running SpongeVanilla in a new, empty folder?

I tried running this is a differnt folder, but it still didnt work…When I do the command java -jar sponge.jar… it downloads the minecraft_server.jar, but the terminal doesnt stop running, so it seems like the file didnt realy load. I will let it run for a while, but the because the file is in the folder already, I would guess the thing gliched out…

You can try downloading the Minecraft server manually from the Minecraft website or directly from this link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.10.2/minecraft_server.1.10.2.jar

You need to place the downloaded file in the same folder as your spongevanilla.jar file. After you have downloaded it, SpongeVanilla should no longer attempt to download it automatically.
