Are you sure you're starting a forge server instead of a vanilla one?
Remember, there are two jars and you need to start the server via the forge one.

Yea, you shouldn't be starting the Minecraft server. That starts a vanilla one.
You need to start the forge jar and I think you need to use the bat file that gets generated instead of just opening the jar.

[Gam3rGirlWater]

How do u do that 

 

[Luis_ST]

how do you start the server

[Gam3rGirlWater]

By double click minecraft_server1.16.4

[Luis_ST]

you need to run the forge.jar file, you can try double click but I think you need to use a .bat file, the command for that bat file is:

java -jar <name_of_forge_jar>.jar

 

[Gam3rGirlWater]

So do u run that in the console, also what do u put in the middle

inside of the server folder there should be a forge-1.16.4-x.x.x.jar use the name of this jar file

Edited September 20, 2021 by Luis_ST

[Gam3rGirlWater]

Ok

 

[Gam3rGirlWater]

but where is the .bat file

 

[Luis_ST]

you need to create a new .bat file inside of the server folder

[Gam3rGirlWater]

ok thx

 

[Gam3rGirlWater]

now what i made the .bat file

 

[ImNotJahan]

you just have to run it (eg. double click, if it opens notepad then you have the wrong extension), although I don't think you actually have to make a bat file, even if it's a good idea. Just running the forge server jar instead of the normal server jar should be enough
