1.18.2 requires java 17, make sure you start the server with java 17

if you use 'java' in the .bat/.sh file make sure it refers to a java 17 installation
if it does not, replace 'java' with the full path of the executable java.exe of java 17

[NorbyGX]

Im sorry  but i dont understand what is the full path of the executable java.exe of java 17 or where it is? Also how can i know that it refers to the java 17 installation or not

 

[warjort]

On the command line type "where java" to find its location and then "java -version" to err...

You should see something like:

Quote

C:\Users\xxxx>where java
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe

C:\Users\xxxx>java -version
java version "18.0.1.1" 2022-04-22
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 18.0.1.1+2-6)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 18.0.1.1+2-6, mixed mode, sharing)

you can use echo %JAVA_HOME% in cmd, im not sure if this will work on mac
then you get a path it should ends with a version

you need to find the installation and then the folder is \bin\java.exe
in my case it is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.1\bin\java.exe

Note if the path contains a space you need to put the path into ""

You should see something like:

the java -version does not always match with the java version of JAVA_HOME

run.bat doesn't reference JAVA_HOME? Its just going to use whatever is in the path

what do you mean by path?

The environment variable the OS uses to find executables. 

echo %Path%

yeah it does, but depends on how you setup java
normally the JAVA_HOME does match with the Path one

Its too complicated for me so i will remain at 1.16.5 servers

this is the important step to make sure it works

C:\Users\namno\Desktop\Szero>java @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.18.2-40.1.52/win_args.txt
The system cannot find the file C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe.

C:\Users\namno\Desktop\Szero>pause
Press any key to continue . . . what does that mean because i cant find ProgramData 

[NorbyGX]

Nevermind that. I managed to make start and run my server thanks for the help.
