My cmd window displays this:

[00:38:24] [main/INFO] [cp.mo.mo.LaunchServiceHandler/MODLAUNCHER]: Launching target 'forgeserver' with arguments []

My user_jvm_args.txt says this:

# Xmx and Xms set the maximum and minimum RAM usage, respectively.
# They can take any number, followed by an M or a G.
# M means Megabyte, G means Gigabyte.
# For example, to set the maximum to 3GB: -Xmx3G
# To set the minimum to 2.5GB: -Xms2500M

# A good default for a modded server is 4GB.
# Uncomment the next line to set it.
-Xmx14G
-Xms2G

My run.bat and run.sh are not tampered with, aside from replacing "java" with the exact filepath to java.exe in quotes.

I have Java 17. The server starts and mods function fine. Attempting to run run.bat as administrator results in:

Error: could not open `user_jvm_args.txt'

 

I'm at a loss. Please help. I just want my server to eat more RAM.

 

EDIT; "SOLVED": After testing it for the last hour or so, I've determined that the server is reading and executing the arguments correctly, and is simply not telling me in the command prompt. Running as Admin was its own problem; don't to that. An easy way to tell if this is the case: Watch the Task Manager, on the Details tab, with the Commit Size column visible. Commit Size will start out at your -Xms value, and increase as necessary up to your -Xmx value. Good to know that the code won't tell me when it's doing what I told it to. Hope this helps the next person with that concern.

Solved the issue.

Test it without using the user_jvm_args.txt - so use the RAM allocation directly in your script

Something like:
 

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.9\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx14G @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.19.2-43.3.0/win_args.txt
pause

pause

Tried it, and it loaded, but I still received "Launching target 'forgeserver' with arguments []"

Restart the server and add the complete latest.log from your server

Add the log with sites like

How did you install the Forge server?

Got it figured out, thanks though. Details are in the edit.

By downloading and running forge-1.19.2-43.3.0-installer.jar, then selecting the server option and the destination folder for my server.
