Hi, I'm trying to set up a simple forge server just to play with a couple of my friends, but no matter what I do or try I cannot seem to get a Mods folder and for the actual forge part of the server to actually launch. Every time I try to launch the forge.jar via a .bat file I just get a bunch of errors [Errors below] I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If I can get some help that would be awesome, thanks
