Forge server jar wont start

[Mercuryeee]

I usually run a vannila 1.17 server, but now I want to run a modded 1.16.5 forge server. The problem being that the jar wont start. I looked at online tutorials and all of them seem to include a forge universal jar. but mine just includes forge-1.16.5-36.1.65.jar and minecraft_server.1.16.5.jar. when I run the regular minecraft server jar it works fine but when i run the forge jar it wont start. And yes, I have tried inputing through the command line. I also got the latest version of java 8.

I was trying to run a modded forge server on forge version 36.1.0 with Java 16, but it wasn't working. I saw a post that said that Java 16 didn't work so I installed Java 8. I'm still getting an error message, though. This is the error message that I keep getting:

I had this exact same problem, and I made a post on it too. The log (for me at least) shows:

The server is fixed but only beacuse I deleted the java 16 version. when will forge 1.16.5 servers be able to run with java 16 installed on the system along with java 8 ?

I bit the bullet and turned off my 1.17 server, it was dead anyways.
