Problem with sponge

I loaded sponge into my mods directory since im using forge and when I get in game I type /sponge version and nothing happens. None of the sponge commands are working. Please help me fix this issue thanks.

Version information, any log output would help, etc. Just describing the issue doesn’t give us anything to start off with aside from recognizing “hey, there might be an issue.”

My apologies. I am running the FTB Beyond pack I believe the forge version is: Forge 12.18.3.2316. Sponge version is: 1.10.2-2281-5.2.0-BETA-2433 STABLEFORGE 2281LATEST Download Sources Dev. I’ve installed it into the servers mods folder and i’ve restarted the server multiple times. No errors from what I can see in console. Hope that helps enough.

Well, could you paste the log? And do it in some other website, like pastebin.com.

Kinda hard for me to do that since im using debian.

I can’t upload files and pastebin won’t let me input the log yay!

You need to use SpongeBootstrap, because Applied Energistics 2, which is in your pack, is incompatible with Sponge.

2 questions.

  1. Do I just place the jar file in my directory or mods folder?

  2. I’m using debian to run the StartServer.sh and it looks nothing like what its telling me to edit can someone help me with this?
