EDIT: Just FYI I'm in the UK and been bashing away at this for what feels like a millennia and it's now 00:20 midnight, so I'm probably just going to go to bed, but if anyone responds to this before 8am UK time I'll check it out in the morning! Thanks again!
Hello all, hope I get all the info down you need let me know if I've missed anything - also I'm sorry i'm a real novice when it comes to this stuff, if it's possible to get the dummy version that would be very appreciated
I'm attempting to start a local network modded server - I'm running Minecraft version 1.16.4 on macOS Mojave 10.14.6
My java version is
java version "15.0.1" 2020-10-20
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 15.0.1+9-18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 15.0.1+9-18, mixed mode, sharing)
I've installed the most recent Forge Client 1.16.3-forge-34.1.42 and it appears to work on single player, I've used BiomesOPlenty-1.16.3-12.0.0.417-universal.jar as a test. (As a note I tried this first with the recommended version 1.16.3 - 34.1.0 but I wasn't able to run Biomes O Plenty on that version and I had the same issue with the server as below anyway.)
I've been following instructions as how to install the server, but after installing the server, agreeing to the EULA, launching the server (minecraft_server.1.16.3.jar), launching "forge-1.16.3-34.1.42.jar" to create the mods folder etc and adding Biomes O Plenty to the server's mod folder I'm then unable to open "forge-1.16.3-34.1.42.jar" with "Jar Launcher (default) 15.0.1" I instead get this error message: The Java JAR file "forge-1.16.3-34.1.42.jar" could not be launched. Check the Console for possible error messages.
I've tried opening the file with the console open and no error messages appear, I did try running it via the terminal and received the log below in return, no error message window but also the server didn't start - I'm able to run "minecraft_server.1.16.3.jar" just fine but as far as I know I have to run "forge-1.16.3-34.1.42.jar" to start the modded server but let me know if I'm wrong.
TLDR: Anyone know how I can open the "forge-1.16.3-34.1.42.jar" file to start the modded server or alternatively if I'm doing some colossally wrong please let me know!
Thanks for any help in advance!
