BentoBox Error on Server Startup: Error updating locale file 'locales/ro.yml'.

Expected behavior

I would expect there to be no error.

Observed/Actual behavior

I actually received an error on startup. I tried to remove the locales file in order to prevent it, but it did not solve the problem. I also tried to only remove the ro.yml file, as I don’t need it, but this also did not solve the problem. It keeps regenerating.

Steps/models to reproduce

Start up the server with Bentobox installed.

Thank you in advance for resolving this issue 😃

Weird.

As a work around, try setting the ro.yml file to just a blank file. i.e., it should exist, but put nothing in it.

I have not seen this error, so I’m not sure why it is occurring. I’ll need to study this.

Hmm, indeed that is very strange 🤔 Also a little annoying, as it makes my story seem like it does not happen while i’m not lying of course haha.

Actually, I am running the latest version of paper:
