Hey, when I try to open my 1.16.5 forge server, I get an a bunch of errors. Opening a forge server has worked in the past and after a little break from minecraft and coming back, I tried to open a forge server and it did not work. It would be great if i could get some help. I have reinstalled 17.0.2 java again and that did not fix it.

Here is what pops up when the server opens on cmd-

rephrased it

can you send a link to the java 8 download? also do i need to uninstall java 17.0.2

I did that and now when I open 1.16 forge it crashes with error code:1

and the server opened thankyou. but now i can't join it

 

Never mind I redownloaded it and it opened. Thankyou so much for your help!
