Posted June 11, 20223 yr Hello, so I've been wanting to make a modded server for quite some time, and I finally pulled myself together and tried to do it. I watched a few guides and very early on I had a problem, I got the server downloaded with no problems. However, this is where things take a turn. (My server is 1.16.5) When you create a file for the server it's supposed to have the following files libraries forge-.1.16.5-36.2.35.jar (this can change depending on what forge version you use, I just used the latest) 1.16.5.json and minecraft_server.1.16.5.jar However, I do not have the file 1.16.5.json I've tried redownloading recommended and newest files of Java tried different Notepad apps and everything I could come up with. Nothing. Does someone have a fix?
June 11, 20223 yr Author No, in all the guides it looked like I needed the .json file to start it Well, I downloaded forge 1.16.5 Opened it Clicked "Install serveer" it downloaded and it created a folder with the files but it was missing one, the one needed to start the server
June 12, 20223 yr Its not missing anything. The installer has created all files you need. I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated. Consider supporting the team on Patreon
June 12, 20223 yr Author That is strange, every single guide I've watched on it has another file, and when I try to do every single step but the ones using that file everything works 1 to 1, but that file is used to start the server in all the guides.
