Problem Description

Issue

The server fails to start because a forced or incompatible Java argument is being rejected, preventing Paper from initializing.

Starting org.bukkit.craftbukkit.Main May 03, 2026 1:16:22 PM org.bukkit.craftbukkit.Main main SEVERE: log-strip-color is not a recognized option

The startup failure is likely caused by an invalid JVM or Paper server argument (log-strip-color) that is not supported in the current Java or Paper version combination.

Reproduction Steps

  • Create the instance and change the jre to 25
  • change the jar to paper 26.1.2
  • Enjoy beeing stuck
  • That is it
