Why Cant i get a Forge Jar For my server instead of a .bat or .sh

[BryanThePotato]

Both .bat's and .sh's do not run on my servers so i would really like to be able to download these somewhere i just want the jars for running the server, NOT THE INSTALLER

Because Java doesn't like executable jars anymore Yell at them

Or use a server host that has updated their systems to support a system that was released 5 years ago.

can i make a java exactable that can run the .bat using feather client?

[LexManos]

No, you should use the vanilla launcher. 3rd party launchers are a bad idea. And most 'clients' are hacks {dont try to argue this} which we don't support.

As for their 'host a minecraft server for free' crap.. You're just hosting the server yourself. Just run it yourself dont add a 3rd party into it or no reason.

Sorry to tell you this but its a well known client and it is where i host my Minecraft servers so no i will not

Its not where you host your own minecraft server...

You host the server on your machine.

The launcher doesnt do anything special for you, nothing you couldn't do yourself with 5 mins of effort.

Anyways, our installers work, they use the now standard systems in java that java has been pushing for years. So our only answer will be to use the normal processes and not some 3rd party wrapper.

This isn't true the feather client has their own servers witch my server connects to and then my frends connect to feathers server and then feather sends them to my server using their ip its like a vpn 

[LexManos]

To an extent, its still not worth it. And god knows what that proxy server is actually doing with all the data you're sending it.
And again this isn't anything you couldn't do on your own. Yes it would require you to have two server running. The real one and a proxy, but why would you want to.
Anyways, TLDR We dont support 3rd party launcher no matter how you try and justify it.

TLDR Means?

Edit. Straight from google:

TLDR is an acronym that stands for "Too Long Didn't Read." TLDR is commonly used to summarize lengthy content and can signal a sort of executive summary at the start of news articles or emails. The abbreviation can come off as rude, so it's best to avoid using TLDR as a response in professional settings.

To add on to what Bryan over here was saying, I use the feather client to avoid the port forwarding that google fiber doesn't allow me to do lmao. Kinda messed up that they won't allow .bat files though. It's a pretty good service for server hosting if you're not trying to spend 20 USD a month to play minecraft with your friends. Sure it runs off of your machine but in the end it does encrypt the connections and the data that's being sent isn't really all that important, literally just a public IP and we all know anyone can grab those easily.
