Downloaded forge for 1.18.2 latest client. then went ahead and got the server version too and put it in a folder. ran the .bat you get with it and it tells me

which I know your supposed to get that, but your supposed to get more. And so im also not getting the eula and config folder ans stuff liek that. I have been messing around with java versions recently for another dumb issue I had maybe its related. I have java sedk 18.0.1.1 64 bit only installed now. Still no good. What am I doing wrong, if anything.

Thank you ❤️

Minecraft 1.18 requires java 17

Ok ty ty ill try that.

Got 17. restarted pc. re installed. still same problem. 

Then you do not start the server with java 17.

Replace the java keyword in the run.bat file with the full path of the java 17 executable (java.exe).
If the path contains a space you need to put it into quotes.

Jesus christ I feel so fucking stupid. i get a bunch of weird lines if i run. do I add anything else that : "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.4\bin\java.exe"

ty for ur time my guy ❤️

if this is your path to java 17 the run.bat file should look like this:

// here should be the "@echo off" line and the "REM" lines
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.4\bin\java.exe" @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.19-41.0.61/win_args.txt %*
pause

Ok yayy it works thank you so much. 

Hey, I got the same error, did the same like @Luis_ST did, it worked somehow, but now i've got an other error: 
Error: could not open `libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.19.4-45.0.43/win_args.txt'

I hope anybody is able to help me with this problem

Exact same thing as @EinManu_ happening to me.

I got this same error. i fixed it by installing java sdk 17. then deleting my whole server folder. then making a new one and download necsesary stuff from the server.jar file. and it worked like a charm.
