I'm using the 1.12 14.23.5.2838 version so I can run SpongeForge.

Hello. I've attempted this multiple times on multiple PCs just as a preface. I've been trying to set up a low-scale Pixelmon server for the past few days. According to the tutorials that I've seen, you simply install a forge server into a new folder and run both the forge universal and the server (to start off, this is not the entire process). Both generate new folders and text files, etc. However, when I run Forge (regardless of version), however, it doesn't create anything new. Nothing happens. I've tried doing this both before and after running the server for the first time. Can somebody who's hadd this issue correct me? Or I'm just going about this entirely wrong, in which case could somebody link me an accurate tutorial? Thank you. (I apologize if this is a constantly answered question; just link me to the correct thread if it is)
