i did't use LP

[Bronzwar]

you wrote it like "Recommended Plugins"

[zThana]

That's a mistake, as it's a hard dependency. GriefDefender won't run without LuckPerms.

[DrWurzeli]

depend: A list of plugins that your plugin requires to load.
I know this is an older issue, so might have been added in the meantime: on both spigotmc page and https://docs.griefdefender.com/wiki/#requirements it says LP is a requirement and GD will not launch without it.
happy to hear though you were able to figure out the error cause 👍
