If you are still getting the message
No 'plugin.yml' definition file found for plugin "PluginAPI.jar

What happens when you delete the PluginAPI.jar file?

Quote from Batta

Yes

Freshly updated
...you also don't appear to have any plugins folder?

I didn't add anything extra, just took what I got from a clean install of the game and PluginAPI. The only thing I might have done differently is extracting that one file, which did have the Index-files in it.

I did a fresh install of the game yesterday which took the plugins folder away. Added it back in again a few minutes ago.

I am wondering if you may have to restart your pc...... maybe something is sitting in memory causing an issue.

What I did was to extract the PluginAPI to my Rising World folder (not the plugins folder). Tried running the singleplayer servers again and got the same message, even with a fresh install of everything.
Next, I tried extracting the javadoc.zip file that appeared with the PluginAPI, but it didn't fix anything.

Here's what my files look like, in case something looks obviously wrong to you. I used WinRAR to open the PluginAPI.jar, and just as the error message says, couldn't find a plugin.yml in there anywhere. However, I was getting this error even before I upgraded from the previous PluginAPI version, so I'm kind of lost as to how to fix this.

Currently, I can't play singleplayer at all anymore.

I just remembered after Red released the NPC update that I had problems with starting the game. I had to do a windows update to pick up a recent update..... once that happened Rising World played OK.

You may want to check you have Windows Updated to date.

I noticed you had some additional folders in there that I don't have on my machine.

eg

Index-files
Net
Steam-Shader-Cache

I assume this is something you have installed.

When you do a clean install of RisingWorld , uninstalling from Steam and then deleting the folder, can you play the game before adding anything in.

I also see additional files in there that I assume are from javadoc...... they dont need to be there. Before adding them in have you tested if you can play with just the vanilla game files in the folder and nothing else?

This is what my folder looks like

When you deleted the game did you uninstall from Steam and then delete the folder RisingWorld?

Forgot to add the URL above........ now added.

When is the single player server falling over?

I was just having a look here at what Red said back in 2016 re the same error.....but with JavaLibrary5.jar instead of PluginAPI.jar

https://forum.rising-world.net/thread/5332-plugin-yml/

I would try the API for 0.9.5.4 and see if you get the error

Do you have any plugins installed at the moment?

I downloaded the API the other day for the mod I am working on....... just seen that for some reason I downloaded 0.9.5.4 from the top of the page.

Just having a look at 0.9.5.5 now

Quote from Batta

My singleplayer servers won't open anymore, as of at least a couple of days ago. I haven't tried since the last update, so I am not sure when exactly they stopped opening.

My current PluginAPI is version 0.9.5.5, which is the most recent one I can find in these forums.

I get the following error:

Have you tried downloading the plugin API for 0.9.5.5 again as the messages indicate something is missing.

If a new download still comes up with an error have you tried going back to 0.9.5.4 ?

I may also add the 10 foot birds called Phorusrhacids or Terror Birds to the mod..... they were extremely dangerous predators which were around for 58 million years..... which is a long time.

This means I will have reptiles, mammals and birds featured in the mod.

In my case after reinstalling I had no world files and started a brand new world..... still had the issue.
Is not a big issue for me though as I don't go into the sea any way and lakes appear normal.

Quote from keitha7373

When i did mine, I deleted EVERYTHING Rising World before reinstalling - server files too

Like wise.... everything was deleted before reinstalling..... problem is still there

I uninstalled and removed the folder....... and then did a complete reinstall of the game ..... however I still have the problem after doing a fresh install of game files.

I think this issue is somewhere else.

As keitha7373 said...... I created a new world next to the sea and walked into the water...... this is generated by the game itself.

I just took a walk into the sea and i see it as well.......

Quote from sharkbitefischer

empty your inventory then type setinventory in the console. This should set your spawn inventory to what you are carrying .

I am hoping to do this without going through the console.

Have you verified validity of the game files in steam in case something got corrupted.

With the new animals I did forget 3 animals that will defintely be in the mod:

- Wooly Mammoth
- Sabre-tooth Tiger
- Wooly Rhino

Can you imagine getting your wool from a mammoth or rhino instead of a sheep

Hi Red

I am working on the Prehistoric mod for Rising World and am needing some help with coding.

When the game starts instead of chopping down a tree, which early caveman would not have been able to do, he would have pulled leaves, wood and bark from the tree.

With apples and lemon trees you walk up to the tree and press F to pick the apples or lemons.

Can you let me know if it is possible to put code in place so that fruit trees in the game will produce leaves, wood and bark instead of apples, lemons and cherries.

Is there also a way via code to have the tree have fruit or honey say 10% of the time.

I assume the coding is done for the specific tree that you walk up to.

Also..... when the game starts the player has an axe. Can you let me know if there is a way that I can have the player start with nothing. I want the caveman to build the first tool.

The mod is going to have a totally revamped food system......

65 million years ago :

Tomatoes were the size of berries;
Potatoes were no bigger than peanuts.
Corn was a wild grass with hard kernels in clusters as small as pencil erasers.
Cucumbers were as spiny as sea urchins;
Lettuce was bitter and prickly.
Peas were so starchy and unpalatable and had to be roasted like chestnuts and peeled.
Sea kale was a tough and tongue-curling leafy weed that grew along the temperate sea coasts.
Carrots were scrawny.
Beans were naturally laced with cyanide.
