sfff

it should be though, its in the server's mods folder

i did, when i try to join it says "io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information:"

im not sure, but i cant seem to join the server no matter what i do so i figured that was the problem

i looked at a few tutorials and they usually have a file named something like "1.16.5.json" in the server folder that appears once its done downloading

hows this?

where do i access it?

okay so i made sure i have java 8 installed, but the result is still the same, the . json file is still missing

im trying to make a modded 1.16.5 server for me and my friends, but when i set up the server folder, the .json file with the game version is missing. ive tried several times and its always gone. i have the newest version of java installed, what am i doing wrong? im on windows btw
