4.0 Forge setup requires Mincraft_Server.jar to be downlaoded.

The install.cmd gives the following error if you do not have minecraft_server.jar installed. There is no mention of requiring both the client and server files to be downloaded to install Forge in to MCP in the readme.

The use of the word "Jars" can just imply jinput.jar, lwjgl.jar, lwjgl_util.jar, and minecraft.jar. And the last sentance does not imply to me that both are required (as MCP will work fine with just one or the other)

 

I recommend rephrasing it to

You should use freshly downloaded jars, add NOTHING to the jars, ModLoader

is no longer needed. Both client and server are required and should be 100% clean.

It should not actually error, but hey whatever your python is weird, it cleanly exits for me.

Either way, I don't really care about the readme as things are fairly obvious, Any amount of prevention we do will not be enough to not make this error happen. You are the 1% of people who actually read the readme.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.
