Issue when attempting to create a clan

[Jonathan Coakley]

I try to create a clan and the server doesn't create the clan. Instead I get the following exception in the server console.

I am running...

Forge: forge-1.8-11.14.4.1577 Sponge: spongeforge-1.8-1577-3.1.0-BETA-1045 also attempted: spongeforge-1.8-1577-3.0.0-BETA-1000 Plugin: MCClans-1.2

MCClans v1.2 requires Sponge API 4.1.0. You're trying to run it on Sponge API 3.0.0 / 3.1.0.

As seen here: https://bitbucket.org/Kippers/mcclans-core-sponge/wiki/General_Info

Now I happen to have downgraded this MCClans version for Sponge API 3.0.0 recently for someone else. Please give that a try: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35852071/MCClans-1.2.999-LOCAL.jar

I see. SpongeForge for 1.8 only goes as high as 3.1.0 whereas for 1.8.9 it goes up to 4.2.0 which is what is required. I didn't see this requirement before. Thank you for the fast and descriptive response!
