August 17, 20232 yr That's a long post with very little useful information.  Posting videos of what other people have done is no replacement for explaining what you actually did. Those other people got it to work, you did not. So you did something different. Images and videos are usually worthless anyway compared with showing logs and the output from commands.  Installing the server is explained in the FAQ at the top of the forum. Explain how what you did deviates from that and/or what errors you get when trying to follow it.  NOTE: If you don't have access to XWindows or similar to run the GUI of the installer, you can from the command line run: java -jar forge-xxx-installer.jar --installServer in the folder where you want the server. Edited August 17, 20232 yr by warjort Boilerplate: If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one. If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder.

August 17, 20232 yr From the FAQ: Quote Open the folder you installed Forge to and double click the "run.bat" file on Windows, "run.sh" on macOS or Linux. The last image (please don't post text as images) shows whatever you are running Quote java -jar server.jar nogui which is the vanilla server.  The first lines a forge server boot look something like this (which comes from the run.sh script): Quote REM Forge requires a configured set of both JVM and program arguments. REM Add custom JVM arguments to the user_jvm_args.txt REM Add custom program arguments {such as nogui} to this file in the next line before the or REM pass them to this script directly java @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.18.2-40.1.68/win_args.txt  Boilerplate: If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you.

August 17, 20232 yr That is the windows output. You said you had linux? Quote Error: Could not find or load main class @user_jvm_args.txt That error usually means you have an older version of java installed. You need java 17 If you are starting the server by double clicking the link, it will be the java in the PATH windows environment variable. Boilerplate: If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings.

August 17, 20232 yr 9 minutes ago, SkidzyPlayz said: Potentially vanilla minecraft? No. The installer downloads and modifies the vanilla server. Quote and how do i ensure it boots from Forge not vanilla? It is very tedious to give an answer (especially one that is in the FAQ) and you still don't read it. Quote ./run.sh  The rest of your question is not minecraft or modding related. You want a linux sysadmin forum.  If it was me, I would use "wget" on linux, e.g. Quote wget https://maven.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.18.2-40.2.10/forge-1.18.2-40.2.10-installer.jar gets you latest forge 1.18.2 installer.  Finally read this: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/91712-supported-version-directory/ We only provide support for older versions when the issue is trivial. This issue should be trivial, but this thread has gone on way too long. Read and follow the FAQ step by step. Boilerplate: If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you.

August 17, 20232 yr Quote [16:01:59] [Server thread/INFO] [minecraft/DedicatedServer]: Done (7.537s)! For help, type "help" That message says the server is running.  But... * The log you posted is not the debug.log * It also does now show anybody trying to connect * You don't show the client's debug.log so we don't know what error you see. Quote but i couldn't connect? "It does not work" is not a bug report or answerable support request.  Please read the FAQ/Rules for posting in this forum instead of wasting people's time with incomplete information. The link is here: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/125488-rules-and-frequently-asked-questions-faq/#comment-541436  My guess (I shouldn't have to guess) is you haven't configured the port the server is listening on to be open to the outside world? But that is linux admin stuff. It's not an issue for this forum. Edited August 17, 20232 yr by warjort Boilerplate: If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you.

August 17, 20232 yr Quote [10:26:49] [Render thread/INFO]: Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, 25565 [10:27:15] [Server Connector #1/ERROR]: Couldn't connect to server io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information: xxx.xxx.xxx.:25565 Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information Looks like 25565 is the port you need to open.

August 17, 20232 yr Download the mods into the mod folder and restart the server. This thread needs to stop.
