Can you make a forge server with java 16?

Forge for 1.16 and older is not compatible with Java 16 at this time

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Probably not, just install Java 8 and launch older servers by directly referencing it rather than relying on PATH

I've been trying to figure out how to directly reference where i have installed Java 8, but I cant figure it out. I've put the path to the folder. Am I missing something? Just got forge for a server, with a mod that only works on 1.15.2 currently so I have the latest version of 1.15.2. Waiting for the mod to update beyond that so I wont have this headache.

Your server will have a default version of java that gets used when you just use the command "java" - in this case, it sounds like java 16

What you need to do is instead of just "java -jar etc", use the path to the java executable in place of java. So instead of "java -jar etc." it's "/full/path/to/java1.8/executable -jar etc"

So basically where i messed up was i need to have it point to the java.jar in the folder not just the folder?

so this? 

C:\Users\panda\Desktop\DigimonServer\java8\bin\java -jar -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar digimonworld.jar nogui
PAUSE

edit- 

Got it working, thankfully however it will not let me allocate more than 1g of ram.  Fixed, thank you!

Oooh, a Digimon server! Did you mod it yourself or are you using a pack?

There is no reason to rename the Forge jar, and to invoke the program you need to include its file extension

DaemonUmbra how would I be able to to overide java 16 and try to use java 8 instead to make my modded server for my friends and I? or rather is that even possible?

You... quoted my instructions on how to do that... you call the java 8 executable directly instead of just using "java" and letting your computer decide
