Okay, I just asked for 'libraries' folder from my friend, whose server was working, and mine launched as expected. No idea why in my case installation was missing something, as it was providing 'success' status. Anyway, seems like you were correct - some libraries were missing. We could close it)

Tried to install to S:\MinecraftServer. As far as I could see, result is the same. Cmd output (non-admin): https://pastebin.com/BbwSkmUA Debug log: https://pastebin.com/HjJPnuHx Also, have to mention that minecraft server, non-forge, starts as expected and I could connect to it.

Via installer - forge-1.16.5-36.0.48-installer.jar (path: S:\Program Files\MinecraftServer) I have tried to launch it in 3 ways: Directly by double click Via .bat file (java -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar forge-1.16.5-36.0.48.jar) Via cmd, both with and without admin rights.

Good day, So the issue is simple: server crashes on startup (terminal appears for a sec). Downloaded from official forge server page. No modifications made/no mods installed, EULA set to "True", Java 8 v281. Tried to launch directly via cmd, output: https://pastebin.com/yw4qGjE2 Debug.log: https://pastebin.com/R3m8vZnW I have already tried to: Update Java (281 is the latest, I had 251) Reinstalled the server Tried to launch from cmd with admin rights Checked env. variables for Java (updated too)
