Minecraft Version? Java Version?

Maybe both versions are not matching

1.20.1 server and should be using java 17, i do have other java versions installed though so that could be causing issues

Did you set the java 17 path to the javaw.exe in your script?

For example:
 

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.11\bin\javaw.exe" @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.20.1-47.3.0/win_args.txt
pause

tried that, still getting the same error. bat file currently reads:

@echo off
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
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17\bin\java.exe" @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.20.1-47.3.0/win_args.txt
pause

when i used javaw.exe instead, nothing showed up on the console window at all

Keep using the javaw.exe and check ingame for the server or the log in the server's logs folder

there isn't a logs folder, the server folder looks like this. when i run the bat, absolutely nothing happens and the error shows up immediately.

Did you remove the # at -Xmx4G in the user_jvm_args.txt?

just tried that, still doesn't work

I have no idea - maybe make a test with a pre-configured modpack - most of these already have a server pack - use it as working base

tried to install with create above and beyond, made the run.bat file as suggested, and still doesn't work. it only persists for about a frame before crashing but i managed to grab this screenshot before it crashed. strangely enough it says nothing at all like this in the crash log

i tried an old server i had installed a while ago and that worked just fine. could it be an issue with the installer then?

You will need an older Java 8 build - oracle 311 or older, azul b308 or older

tried a fresh install of above and beyond with java 8 installed. got a popup that says "Error: Unable to access jarfile forge-1.16.5-36.2.8.jar". every good programmer knows getting a different error means you've made progress!

okay i've managed to fix it. looks like i made the stupidest error known to man. i hadn't installed forge to the client, which i assumed only affected the launcher which wouldn't affect me because i used a third party one. evidently not. the more you know

ok apparently the issue is even stupider than that. the folder the server was in was called "𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 server" and apparently the special characters in the folder name break the whole damn thing. this is the stupidest thing in the history of ever

[Ugdhar]

Good rule of thumb, is not to use fancy/special characters in file or folder names. It has a history of breaking stuff
