so i've installed a server for minecraft 1.18 using forge 38.0.16 but after he downloaded "libraries", "run.bat", "run.sh" and "user_jvm_args" he doesn't create an "eula" file. i've already tried to open the "run.bat" file once, the cmd says "type anything to close this windows" and even after that the "eula" file doesn't appear in the server folder. Am i doing something wrong? i've a log file. here it is:

[17:48:21] [main/INFO]: ModLauncher running: args [--launchTarget, forgeserver, --fml.forgeVersion, 38.0.16, --fml.mcVersion, 1.18, --fml.forgeGroup, net.minecraftforge, --fml.mcpVersion, 20211130.085255]
[17:48:21] [main/INFO]: ModLauncher 9.0.7+91+master.8569cdf starting: java version 16.0.2 by Oracle Corporation

Minecraft 1.18 requires java 17, update to java 17 then try again.

Best Minecraft hosts in 2026 (from someone who's been running servers since 2012)

Got a few DMs asking about the proxy/networking side of running splits, so dropping that here instead of replying individually.

Quick rundown: yes, you can run Velocity (or BungeeCord if you're stuck on older versions) plus multiple backend servers off one split-capable plan. Setup is standard, drop the proxy on one server, point the backends at it over the host's internal network. The reason this matters: hosts that force you into separate billing plans for each server also make you route between them over public IPs, which is real measurable latency between proxy and backend. Internal network means lower ping, no extra hop, no surprise IP changes when the host migrates a node.

Use Velocity, not BungeeCord. BungeeCord modded plugin support is basically abandonware at this point and Velocity is faster anyway. If your pack works with Velocity, go Velocity.

If you want separate subdomains for each server (smp.yourdomain.net, modded.yourdomain.net) you'll need:
forced-hosts entries in velocity.toml SRV records at your registrar pointing to your proxy's IP and portMost panels don't handle the DNS side for you. That part lives at Cloudflare/Namecheap/whoever you bought the domain from.

For anyone running just a single server, ignore all of this, you don't need a proxy. This only matters if you actually want a network down the road.

Solid list. Did a similar writeup on hosts I've actually run servers on over the past decade or so, overlaps with a few of yours plus some other options worth a look if anyone's curious: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/160213-best-minecraft-hosts-in-2026-from-someone-whos-been-running-servers-since-2012/

Trouble setting up a 1.12.2 MDK in 2026

Hello,
I’m having trouble setting up the development environment in IntelliJ IDEA using the Minecraft Forge MDK version net.minecraftforge:forge:1.12.2-14.23.5.2864. I’m using Java 8.
I haven’t modified anything — I simply downloaded the MDK ZIP from the official Forge website, extracted it, and ran the Gradle setup commands. Minecraft launches for a few seconds and then crashes with some unusual errors:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
[Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: There was a problem reading the entry module-info.class in the jar C:\Users\tmh.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\org.ow2.asm\asm\6.2\1b6c4ff09ce03f3052429139c2a68e295cae6604\asm-6.2.jar - probably a corrupt zip net.minecraftforge.fml.common.LoaderException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at net.minecraftforge.fml.common.discovery.asm.ASMModParser.<init>(ASMModParser.java:63) ~[ASMModParser.class:?]

For some reason, it appears to be attempting to load several Gradle .jar files as Minecraft mods, and it does this with quite a large number of jars.
I haven’t changed the build.gradle file at all — everything is still using the default configuration — so I’m not sure why it’s trying to load them as mods.

Have you tried Lagless.gg? I saw an ad for free trials and after messing around a bit it seems nice
