Not working with new input

i changed the loot tables for the food crates that are listed and nothing is working.all is as if i never edited them..any idea why?thanks in advance everyone.

Are you sure you edited the data file when the plugin was unloaded ? , did you use a validator to check json file because if there is an error it will revert to default (previous) version ?

that i did.i transfered to my pc using filezilla, edited the file using notepad++, uploaded it back to the same folder and replaced the one in there.reloaded the plugin as well.i did check using the editer on my host website to make sure my work saved and it did.its strange it just doesnt work for me.another server im on has no problems.
