Its working now and I'm not sure why. It still doesn't say it's using the launch args in the console but my memory utilization in the gui says otherwise so its all good for now. Thanks for the help and if i manage to narrow down what fixed it ill post it here in case someone has the same problem in the future.

It still launches without listening to the launch args. I have done a fresh install of windows, custom file paths and several versions of java. None of them change anything

@echo off REM Forge requires a configured set of both JVM and program arguments. REM Add custom JVM arguments to the user_jvm_args.txt REM Add custom program arguments {such as nogui} to this file in the next line before the %* or REM pass them to this script directly java @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.20.1-47.4.0/win_args.txt %* pause

I’ve tried both ways. Without the dash in the run.bat just makes it pop up in the console when launching. It does nothing in the jvm_args file and crashes it when it’s in the run.bat with dashes.

I'm attempting to make a 1.20.1-47.4.0 forge server but when I change the user_jvm_args.txt it does nothing so i tried adding it to the run.bat which it picks up on the startup console but then gives me this [21:56:01] [main/ERROR] [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%2393!/:?] {} at joptsimple.OptionParser.validateOptionCharacters(OptionParser.java:633) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar%2393!/:?] {} at joptsimple.OptionParser.handleShortOptionCluster(OptionParser.java:528) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar%2393!/:?] {} at joptsimple.OptionParser.handleShortOptionToken(OptionParser.java:523) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar%2393!/:?] {} at joptsimple.OptionParserState$2.handleArgument(OptionParserState.java:59) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar%2393!/:?] {} at joptsimple.OptionParser.parse(OptionParser.java:396) ~[jopt-simple-5.0.4.jar%2393!/:?] {} at net.minecraft.server.Main.main(Main.java:98) ~[server-1.20.1-20230612.114412-srg.jar%23101!/:?] {re:classloading} at jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) ~[?:?] {} at jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:77) ~[?:?] {} at jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) ~[?:?] {} at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:568) ~[?:?] {} at net.minecraftforge.fml.loading.targets.CommonLaunchHandler.runTarget(CommonLaunchHandler.java:111) ~[fmlloader-1.20.1-47.4.0.jar%2369!/:?] {} at net.minecraftforge.fml.loading.targets.CommonLaunchHandler.serverService(CommonLaunchHandler.java:103) ~[fmlloader-1.20.1-47.4.0.jar%2369!/:?] {} at net.minecraftforge.fml.loading.targets.CommonServerLaunchHandler.lambda$makeService$0(CommonServerLaunchHandler.java:27) ~[fmlloader-1.20.1-47.4.0.jar%2369!/:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchServiceHandlerDecorator.launch(LaunchServiceHandlerDecorator.java:30) ~[modlauncher-10.0.9.jar%2355!/:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchServiceHandler.launch(LaunchServiceHandler.java:53) ~[modlauncher-10.0.9.jar%2355!/:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchServiceHandler.launch(LaunchServiceHandler.java:71) ~[modlauncher-10.0.9.jar%2355!/:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:108) ~[modlauncher-10.0.9.jar%2355!/:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:78) ~[modlauncher-10.0.9.jar%2355!/:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.BootstrapLaunchConsumer.accept(BootstrapLaunchConsumer.java:26) ~[modlauncher-10.0.9.jar%2355!/:?] {} at cpw.mods.modlauncher.BootstrapLaunchConsumer.accept(BootstrapLaunchConsumer.java:23) ~[modlauncher-10.0.9.jar%2355!/:?] {} at cpw.mods.bootstraplauncher.BootstrapLauncher.main(BootstrapLauncher.java:141) ~[bootstraplauncher-1.1.2.jar:?] {} I have uninstalled and reinstalled all my versions of java and tried deleting and restarting everything several times to no avail.
