Help needed : Pixelmon server won't start with spongeforge

Server Discussion
1

Hi, I’m a new server owner trying to make a small pixelmon server. My only issue is that spongeforge doesn’t seem to work. I have pixelmon installed on my server however when I place the spongeforge jar in my mods folder the server does not start. Here are some logs if somebody could help me and tell me what I can do that’d be great.

If there’s anything specific somebody wants to look at just ask me and I’ll send it on.

> [16:57:47] [Server thread/INFO]: [Server] Server shutdown in 10 seconds! Saving.. probably is not a minecraft built-in message. You can see the server “speaks”: [Server]. That’s done by the /say command or by a plugin/mod. Please post a screenshot of your mods folder or write a list of all plugins and mods.
