If I try to run the provided batch file, I recieve an error regarding opening the file 'user_jvm_args.txt'.

Quote

Error: could not open `user_jvm_args.txt'

If I replace the 'user_jvm_args.txt' with my memory settings, I recieve the same error regarding 'win_args.txt', located in the folder 'libraries/net/minecraftforge/1.20.1-47.2.0'.

If I try and directly run the forge server file located in the afformentioned folder, I recieve an error referencing a possibly corrupted jarfile

If I run the forge installer directly from cmd, the output I recieve in the terminal is:

Please note that I have attempted various other forge server versions and tried downloading the installer multiple times, yet I have consistently recieved the above errors.

Please also note that the reason I am using 1.20.1 is because that is Create has not as of yet updated to any more recent versions.

Bear in mind I may be stupid 🙏

Add the lines of the start script

Disregard previous statement; whilst my java_home path variable was set to java 17, for some reason the batch file was still using a different version of java.

Thanks for the help with my issue

Do not make changes at the environment variables - to set the java version for your server, replace the word java in your script with the java 17 path to the javaw.exe - put this path into quotation marks

 

Example:
 

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.9\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx4G -Xms2048M -jar server.jar 
pause
