So basically when i download the 1.16.5 server it doesnt give me the .json file

[__Catt__]

So i download 1.16.5 forge 36.2.34 and i download client first, next i do server and direct it to my tests folder, i open it and theres no .json file, i do the run.bat thing and run it and i only get eula and server properties

[warjort]

What .json file were you expecting?

Did you edit the eula.txt to say you accept it? It should have told you to do that when you ran run.bat

[__Catt__]

on all the tutorials ive watched they all had a 1.16.5 json file

you do not need to uninstall java 18, you can just use the full path of the java executable instead of the java keyword in the .bat/.sh file

try with the full path, explained above

uhhhh i dont understand what you mean by uhh full path

 

[Luis_ST]

the full path of java means the installation path, in my case it is:

Quote

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-8.0.322\jre\bin\java.exe"

Note: the quotes are required

Not for installing a server - or you watched very strange tutorials. Even for installing the client, the JSON file is entirely irrelevant to you as the user. You should never touch it or care about it any way shape or form.

i watched that one by the breakdown on the modded server one

edit the .bat/.sh file and replace java with full path of java 8

if you not use a .bat/.sh to start the server, here is the example of the .bat file (.sh files are for mac)

Quote

<full path of java> -jar <server file name>.jar

this is not the full path, it should be the path to the of the java executable (you find it in the bin folder)

and you need to put the path into quotes

Try that, if it doesn't work correct it to the java.exe that exists.
