Minecraft Fix: Zip End Header Not Found
Resolve corrupted JAR or ZIP file errors preventing mods and plugins from loading.
The "Zip END header not found" error means a .jar or .zip file is corrupted — usually from an incomplete download or transfer.
Fixing the Error
Identify the corrupted file
Check Console on the XGamingServer panel for the error message. It will mention which file is corrupted.
Delete the corrupted file
Go to Files, navigate to the file location (/plugins/ or /mods/), and delete the corrupted .jar.
Re-download from the official source
Download a fresh copy from the plugin/mod's official page (SpigotMC, Modrinth, CurseForge).
Re-upload and restart
Upload the fresh file via Files and restart your server.
⚠️ Warning: Never download mods or plugins from unofficial mirror sites. They may be corrupted, outdated, or contain malware.
💡 Tip: For large files, use SFTP instead of the web uploader to avoid timeout-related corruption.
