Restarting the server delete symbolic link .jar

[Olthoo]

Expected behavior

I would expect the links to stay after booting the server

Observed/Actual behavior

In the process of loading the server, the remapper deleted any symbolic link using the .jar extension

Steps/models to reproduce

make a symbolic link to a plugin used by the server

(exemple : ln -s /home/ubuntu/minecraft/shared/Citizens.jar /home/ubuntu/minecraft/hub/Citizens.jar )

start the server

infos are about a purpur server but it's a paper issue. I will reupload infos from a paper test server but I really don't think it's necessary

My testing server is primarily a server using symlinked jars and I've never had such an issue

Any news or questions about this issue ?

Well no one has been able to replicate this yet so. Not much we can do. I'll give it another try but, I don't have much hopes.

Yea, tested this even with a plugin that fails the remapping process.
Symlinks remain. I'll be closing this as non-replicable. If you have replication steps that work for a minimal setup, feel free to post them here and we can investigate further, but for now no one can replicate your issue, I am sorry.
