1.18.1 requires Java 17.

bless you and your insight.
that seems to be it. i just finished hosting a 1.16 server so that would explain my lack of newest java

thanks again 

[Starting modded server 1.18.1- could not find or load main class @libraries...]

Hey there. i am trying to run another quality modpack 3 which is 1.18.1
it says it runs of forge 1.18.1 - 39.0.22 which i downloaded and installed client and server side.

now i get this issue
it still seems the server installer is either not catching forge, or not installing forge itself.
just i wish i knew what my mistake could be

i tried redownloading the server files fresh and got this as soon as i typed true for eula

this then runs on repeat 

i have hosted many private servers over the years and usually this isnt the issue. 
Any ideas? thanks
