Hello there. I am trying to set up a virtual machine using oracle to run my own minecraft server and everything works up until i need to run the server on tmux and when i try to do it, it said im unable to because it cant find the server jar file. it says server installed on tmux however the .jar file isnt in the directory. I am using commands from a youtube video from a year ago and those commands didnt work so believe it or not I asked Chat GPT and it spat out all the proper codes and everything and they all work but then I get to when I need to run this: "java -Xmx24G -Xms4G -jar forge-1.20.1-47.3.0.jar nogui" in order to start the server and it says unable to find it. Chat GPT gave me some solutions but it doesnt work. FileZilla might not be extracting it properly or idk maybe tmux is the issue but here is the whole convo with Chat GPT and what I was doing to fix this: https://pastebin.com/EDJDmAXw 

This is for Forge 1.20.1 - 47.3.0

I dont know what to do and I have tried for a while to fix this but nothing on the internet has helped so I now turn to experts with forge for help. 

Forgot to add the video I was referencing

Should I try downgrading the forge version? or maybe raising it?

Or possibly just copying the universal,jar or server.jar for forge 1.20.1-47.3.0 to filezilla directory so that it can find those files?

The "can't find the server jar file" error usually refers to an issue with Java

 

On the vm, what are the startup lines for the server?

If you are using something like

java -Xmx...

replace the word java with the java path on the vm (to the javaw.exe) and put it into quotation marks

 

Try my Modpack

This is the code for when JDK 17 is installing if there is a problem with java: https://pastebin.com/y6LxHzsa

This is when the forge is being installed from using "wget https://maven.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.20.1-47.3.0/forge-1.20.1-47.3.0-installer.jar"  then using "java -jar forge-1.20.1-47.3.0-installer.jar --installServer" and the code as far up as it goes in putty without cutting off is: https://pastebin.com/eAmsDLGe

      Forge 1.21 – How can I add a custom HUD Overlay (Item Icon + Text)

      By OhOhIWontLetUGo · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!

      [1.20.1] Severe server freeze when exiting Nether portal or entering End (no mods, Forge 1.20.1, Arch Linux)

      Chunk loading maybe stalls the JVM during dimension travel?

      [Help] How to update a mod from 1.19.2 to 1.20.1

      By Ugdhar · Posted

      The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!

      Crash the server

      Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.
