Trying to make a new forge server for 1.16.5 version. Had original error because it was using the wrong version of java (16 I think) ... So I made my own custom batch file to make it specifically use java 11. Now I'm getting a new message and I cant figure out why. I must be blind. Is it the wrong version of java 11? Or something else. I have always been able to run the modpack just fine on other peoples server... Not sure what that means. Thanks for any help

Also trying with java 8 of several versions

B:\pokermon>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

 

My batch file:
 

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.15.1\bin\java.exe" -Xmx5500M -jar forgeserver.jar nogui java -version

pause

 

Thank you

Problem solved, turns out you needed really specific java version -jdk-8.0.302.8
