Sponge Mod Plugins not working

I have a server that runs Pixelmon 1.8.9 4.2.5 , after putting sponge (mod) plugins to the mods folder I receive this :

I assume that it’s all about the “FML has found a non-mod file Nexus.jar in your mods directory. It will now be injected into your classpath. This could severe stability issues, it should be removed if possible.”
Also I’m sure that I have downloaded the right version of Nexus for forge

For the sake of the test I only put Nexus . Any help is really appreciated

I don’t see Sponge anywhere

The mod plugin for example , nexus

Did you put SpongeForge in the mods folder as well? I don’t see any of its log messages in the console.

Yes, but @Skylord_Horus, he means you don’t have sponge forge installed. You need to have sponge forge in the mods folder to load sponge plugins. Go to spongepowered.org and click on the downloads button.

Sorry about that, I did install ti after and even then , half of the commands of nexus wont work and neither EssentialCmds nor WorldEdit will. spongeforge can onyl run nexus and not even nexus is working properly

That’s simply not true. Nexus may not be working perfectly because it’s in beta, but sponge works very well. There is some other issue or bug. Please post your server log with sponge, Nexus, WorldEdit. Etc. Installed.

You appear to have an outdated sponge version. When downloading sponge forge, be sure you click the “latest” button.

But my forge is 1722 , WOuldnt sponge not be compitable if it was 1424 or 1402?

If you click the “show all downloads” the required forge version is listed. You’ll have to update both sponge and forge.

But Pixelmon is for 1722

No it isn’t. They literally just released 4.2.6 which supports latest 1.8.9 Forge so update.

You’re using Sponge 1.8.9-1722-3.1.0-BETA-1136. The SpongeAPI has versions to avoid version conflicts. That said you’re running a build that supports API 3.1.0 (have a look at the filename). All current plugins are built against API 4.x, thus they won’t work on 3.x anymore.

So either use old (now outdated) plugins or update SpongeForge. There’s no other option.

So I will have to update pixelmon to 4.2.6 , Forge to 1.8.9 - 11.15.1.1902 and SpongeForge to 1.8.9 - 4.2.0-BETA-1424 ?

no, SF1424 should use Forge 1890

Thanks, Do I only have to replace the pixelmon mod , spongeforge and forge or is there anythign from the outdated version that I will have to delete?

Uhm no I think you can use any Pixelmon version that’s for 1.8.9 but why not use the latest

Pixelmon can be used with any version of Forge above the recommended Forge version on a server without issue, clients may break if there are rendering changes in a newer Forge but that’s unlikely

TL;DR Pixelmon dev recommends using the latest SpongeForge and the Forge version it needs
