Conversion Errors
Issues that may occur when converting configs between plugins using the LK Creator Converter.
1. Properties Not Converting
Symptom: Some YAML properties from the source plugin are missing in the converted output.
Cause: Not all properties have direct equivalents across plugins. The Converter maps what it can and flags the rest.
Solution:
- Review the conversion preview before downloading — it shows:
- Warnings: Properties that were approximated or changed
- Unsupported features: Properties that have no equivalent in the target plugin
- Errors: Critical issues that need manual attention
- See Known Limitations for detailed plugin-specific limitations
2. Component Version Mismatch
Symptom: Converted configs reference components not available in your Minecraft version.
Cause: Some plugins use newer Minecraft component system (1.21.1+) features that may not be available on your server version.
Solution:
- Check the Compatibility Matrix for your MC version
- Nexo components require MC 1.21.1 - 1.21.5
- CraftEngine components require MC 1.20.5 - 1.21.11
- If your server is on an older version, some properties will be flagged as incompatible
3. Recipe Conversion Issues
Symptom: Recipes don’t convert correctly or are missing.
Cause: Each plugin handles recipes differently.
Solution:
- Oraxen does not support recipes — recipes will be skipped when converting to Oraxen
- Recipe formats vary significantly between plugins; review the output carefully
- Consider re-creating complex recipes using the Recipe Generator
4. Custom Model Data Conflicts
Symptom: Items in-game show the wrong texture after conversion.
Cause: CustomModelData values may conflict with existing items on your server.
Solution:
- After conversion, check that CMD values don’t overlap with other items
- Use LK Creator’s Advanced Options to set a custom CMD range
- Each plugin handles CMD differently — some auto-assign, others use the value you specify
5. Empty or Minimal Output
Symptom: The converted file is nearly empty or missing most configurations.
Cause: The source file may not have been recognized correctly.
Solution:
- Ensure you uploaded a valid YAML config file (not a resource pack ZIP)
- The file must be the plugin configuration file (e.g.,
items.ymlfor ItemsAdder, notconfig.yml) - Check that the source plugin was correctly identified
- Try converting a single item first to verify the process works
