FIX:

As suggested, I downgraded my java 8 to version 311 b11.
Now I can run forge servers!


Problem:

Whenever I run the forge jar (Be it through double click, open with java, cmd, or a start.bat file) I get the same error. I am using java 1.8.0_321 build 07, my java server build hotspot is build 25.321-b07 mixed mode, and forge 1.16.5-36.2.20.

I am using a 64 bit operating system if it matters.

Here's the log:

I've been searching around on forum posts, asking friends, testing things, and nothing works. Some things I've tried:

Switching java version.
Adding forge recommended java 16 args despite not running java 16.
My friends suggestion of running a totally random sequence of forge and minecraft jars.
Running everything through cmd.
Running everything through a start.bat file.


Please help. I no about nothing about java and this sun.security thing. I just want to play valhelsia 3 with my friends.

You can reply to the thread, or message me on discord (ViaticShadow#3453) and I'll update the post accordingly to aid anyone else who encounters this problem.


Thanks in advance.

Reply created to ask a stupid question. I figured it out.

Where did you find the Java version?

https://adoptium.net/archive.html

The Java 8 311 b11 isnt there

iirc there is no 311, use 312 instead

I got it on the oracle website.

I would recommend you to use Java from https://adoptium.net
