version of java #6 worked, guess trying x64 again was the trick... OpenJDK8U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_8u332b09 I

i am running with the -jar in the command

p.s. I reset windows on the server because I originally thought it might have been an issue of newer java version conflicts

I have tried 5 versions of java 8 (Open JDK, ZULU, JRE 8u333, 8u321, 8u291) The error i receive is regardless of version reads as follows: C:\forge>java forge-1.16.5-36.2.34.jar Error: Could not find or load main class forge-1.16.5-36.2.34.jar I can load a vanilla minecraft server just fine, this only occurs when loading Forge. I can also point directly to the java 8 install java.exe and the same occurs. It seems this line is a syntax error that is common for all of this [07:49:22] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [org.antlr.v4.runtime.ConsoleErrorListener:syntaxError:38]: line 1:0 token recognition error at: '~'
