the server.jar file

just curious why the setup of a server for 1.18.2 folder has changed pretty much makes it impossible to run a server off a host and how would i go and run it with the jar file not the run.bat file

Basically (and extremely simplified), Java Broke Executable Jars in Java 9. And considering Java 9 is 5 years old. We figure it has been long enough for server hosts to have updated. It's not hard it's just different command line arguments when launching the server. Also, we knew Mojang was gunna bump Java eventually so we made sure to make our stuff more future proof.

If your host doesn't support it, then stop paying them as they have shown they can not be trusted to update in the last 5 years. There are plenty out there are have actually applied updates in a timely manor so find one and use them. Or host it yourself.
