Forge 1.19.4 server crashes immediately on launch

[Clawalc]

Hello, whenever I try to launch the Forge 1.19.4 (45.0.43) server it crashes immediately. I have no issues running the Forge 1.19.3 (44.1.23) server on my machine. I also have no issues running the client of either version on my machine.
This install has no mods, only Forge. I have Java JRE 8 update 861 and Java JDK 20 installed.

If there's any further info I could provide to assist fixing this issue, please ask and I shall do my best to provide it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Below is the console log (with my name censored):

Use java 17

[Clawalc]

Thank you! Uninstalling Java 20 and installing Java 17 worked. For anyone in my specific position who finds this in the future, make sure you don't have both installed at the same time - ONLY Java 17.
