Hi there,

I am trying to run a forge server using debian with no mods in it and have been able to follow all the steps to setup the server, I am on java version 17 and run time environment 17, I have accepted the eula etc... but when I run I get this error:

Any help would be appreciated.

Make a test with adding

-Djava.awt.headless=true

to your start script

I tried adding this to the start of the run.sh file and it just says "-Djava.awt.headless=true" not found before giving the same error

Add the lines of the run.sh

this is what i have right now

Put this line into the user_jvm_args.txt

 

Or try

 

java -Djava.awt.headless=true @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.20.1-47.3.25/unix_args.txt "$@"
pause

the server works now, thanks so much! What does that line actually mean?

Here in this case, it disables java graphical display features

A server does not have a "display" or GUI - so with this line you disable these features

I think it is some kind of linux thing
