How-to set up a local server? (Searched the web & this forum for hours)

[Mat.io]

Hi all,

just hope that someone bears with a noob, but after searching the web for hours I still cannot manage to run a local Minecraft server with Forge mods. All the tutorials are either outdated or refer to server installations on hosting sites… :/

I run the installer, but it does not create a “forge.xxx.universal.jar” in the installation root folder. There’s one in a nested package (following java packaging notation), but it lacks a manifest file and cannot be launched?!?

Anyone knows about a recent (1.19.4) tutorial that describes that step-by-step?

Very much appreciated! I’d document it myself once I manage to help other newbies…

Hm, apparently, it's as simple as just running "sh run-sh"...
