 Resurrection is only confirmed to run on vanilla Spigot or Bukkit servers, meaning you built the server yourself using `BuildTools` with no extra settings, or downloaded it from official sources such as their website. Resurrection is **NOT GUARANTEED** to run on **ANY** fork of Spigot/Bukkit servers, such as Tuinity or Paper. Issues reported involving these forks may not be provided a solution unless proven that the issue still happens on vanilla versions.
