Forge server will not run mods with dependencies

[mossonarock]

I am running a 1.18.2 server with forge version 40.2.2.

The server will start fine with mods that don't require anything else, like appleskin and carryon.

The server will not start if I add mods like citadel or endertech, with or without mods that require them to work like alex's mobs or advanced chimneys.

The pattern seems to be that any library type mods do not work, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Please help ❤️

Use java 17

I installed java 17 (please tell me if this is different from jdk-17, that was all I could find).

Now it does this.

Alright, had a bit of a potato moment. I needed to uninstall java 20 properly, not just delete the file. It works now. Thank you
