Posted November 4, 20214 yr Hi My problem is; I've followed a guide on YouTube to get a server setup with forge because some i want to host a game with my friend to play some mods. We want to play better minecraft FORGE 1.16.5 I'm assuming I would need the minecraft server version 1.16.5 which i got from MCversions.net website. Followed the guide, installed the server and ran my batch file, allocating RAM and it all works fine - Vanilla 1.16.5 Installed forget 1.16.5 to my client (tested and it works), installed the same version to my folder where my server is BUT here is the tricky part that I don't understand - I was told to double click (open) the forge.jar file that gets dumped into the folder after installation to allow it to create a mod folder and some others, mine doesn't open at all. When I change my batch file to open the newly installed forge.jar file I get an error in the command prompt window below. https://pastebin.com/Ej9Tc0Ly If there is something I'm doing wrong, please advise me. P.s Am i right to assume i would need forge 1.16.5 to run "better minecraft[FORGE] 1.16.5" resource pack?? or will it work with the newest version of forge 1.17.1 Thank you
November 4, 20214 yr Java 17 is not supported by forge yet. Also Minecraft 1.16 requires java 8-15, you currently using java 17 downgrade your java to 8-15 and the problem should be fixed.
