Server setup

NoClassDefFoundError: org/lwjgl/Version When Starting Server with Sodium

What it looks like in the log

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.lwjgl.Version

How to fix it

  1. Stop the server if the startup script is looping.
  2. Open your dedicated server's `mods` folder and delete the `sodium` `.jar` file.
  3. Check the server's `mods` folder for any Sodium add-ons or other client-only rendering mods (such as Iris, Sodium Extra, or Reese's Sodium Options) and remove them from the server as well.
  4. Keep Sodium installed only in your personal Minecraft client's `mods` folder—players can still join the server with Sodium on their clients.
  5. Start the server again.
