I'm trying to start a minecraft forge server to play with my friends, currently i'm only trying to let the server run with one mod "agricraft" however i get a really long error that i and my friends can't understand. If someone could help i'd be really thankful!

This is the complete error log.

Thank you very much, it worked. However may i ask you why it doesn't work with an older version? I'm just kind of interested in the working of these things, thank you for your time!

java has changed some internal stuff (if i remember correctly it was version 321) which is used by Forge in the older versions,
Forge has fixed this problem, but the recommend 1.16.5 version is still affected by the problem (incorrect info)

i see, the recommended version is the same as the latest version
