Mind showing your sponge_plugins.json?

Its likely that the info hasnt been filled in correctly

Ill have a play around. It looks fine from that

Finally got round to this.

After testing it myself with the following sponge_plugins.json (Yours kept saying json parse exception for some reason)

{
  "loader": {
    "name": "java_plain",
    "version": "1.0"
  },
  "license": "All Rights Reserved",
  "plugins": [
    {
      "id": "banuseitem",
      "name": "MyPlugin",
      "version": "1.0",
      "entrypoint": "org.test.SpongeTest",
      "description": "My plugin description",
      "contributors": [
        {
          "name": "Mosemister",
          "description": "Test"
        }
      ],
      "dependencies": [
        {
          "id": "spongeapi",
          "version": "8.1.0",
          "load-order": "after",
          "optional": false
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

and the following code

	private void show(String event) {
		this.logger.info(event + ": " + container.metadata()
				.contributors()
				.stream()
				.map(con -> "Name: " + con.name() + " Description: " + con.description().orElse("NA"))
				.collect(Collectors.joining("\n")));
	}

I find that it does indeed print the name and description. So it must be either that json parse exception issue? or maybe your sponge version had a break in it

This is the earliest print message btw
OnConstruct: Name: Mosemister Description: Test

I would recommend taking my sponge_plugins and modifiing it to you
