I am trying to run a minecraft server for me and a couple of friends to play on. We all want to take a trip down memory lane and play minecraft version 1.8.8. To do this I had to run a command in the docker container to use java 8 instead of java 17 which is used for the newest versions of minecraft, I added the plugin anyways and this appeared in my logs:
Could not load ‘plugins/playit-minecraft-plugin.jar’ in folder ‘plugins’

Are there any old downloads that will support java 8 or am I completely SOL?
