ITS WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much!

will i need to redo the path?

sorry if im not super good at all this, im fairly good with computers, but this is a bit out of my rang. (i mean this with no sarcasm. seriously lol)

how do i do that?

ok it gave me this Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx4096M The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size. Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

ok let me try running it with that

like this? "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_301\bin\java" -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar forgeserver.jar nogui PAUSE

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_301\bin\java" -jar forge.jar -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar forgeserver.jar nogui PAUSE and by output do you mean the log? or is the output something else?

hm. thats weird that its still not working then.

just making sure im doing this right

ok so, what jar folder do i need in the server folder? i have the forgeserver.jar and the minecraft_server.1.16.5.jar, but im guessing i need something else as well

ok so put it back to how it was?

yeah i have all my server stuff in one folder. but i just tried something i dont know if i was supposed to do it but i tried changing something in the bat folder, if its really messed up i can change it back. it was this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_301\bin\java" -jar forge.jar -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar forgeserver.jar nogui PAUSE But now its this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_301\bin\java" -jar forgeserver.jar -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar forgeserver.jar nogui PAUSE And it gave me a decent load up but then gave me a big error [main/FATAL] [minecraft/Main]: Failed to start the minecraft server joptsimple.UnrecognizedOptionException: X is not a recognized option at joptsimple.OptionException.unrecognizedOption(OptionException.java:108) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar:?] {} at joptsimple.OptionParser.validateOptionCharacters(OptionParser.java:633) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar:?] {} at joptsimple.OptionParser.handleShortOptionCluster(OptionParser.java:528) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar:?] {} at joptsimple.OptionParser.handleShortOptionToken(OptionParser.java:523) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar:?] {} at joptsimple.OptionParserState$2.handleArgument(OptionParserState.java:59) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar:?] {} at joptsimple.OptionParser.parse(OptionParser.java:396) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar:?] {} at net.minecraft.server.Main.main(Main.java:78) ~[?:?] {re:classloading} at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) ~[?:1.8.0_301] {} at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_301] {} at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_301] {} at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) ~[?:1.8.0_301] {} at net.minecraftforge.fml.loading.FMLServerLaunchProvider.lambda$launchService$0(FMLServerLaunchProvider.java:51) ~[forgeserver.jar:36.2] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchServiceHandlerDecorator.launch(LaunchServiceHandlerDecorator.java:37) [modlauncher-8.0.9.jar:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchServiceHandler.launch(LaunchServiceHandler.java:54) [modlauncher-8.0.9.jar:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchServiceHandler.launch(LaunchServiceHandler.java:72) [modlauncher-8.0.9.jar:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:82) [modlauncher-8.0.9.jar:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:66) [modlauncher-8.0.9.jar:?] {} at net.minecraftforge.server.ServerMain$Runner.runLauncher(ServerMain.java:63) [forgeserver.jar:?] {} at net.minecraftforge.server.ServerMain$Runner.access$100(ServerMain.java:60) [forgeserver.jar:?] {} at net.minecraftforge.server.ServerMain.main(ServerMain.java:57) [forgeserver.jar:?] {}
