Posted May 19May 19 I'm trying to make a forge server in 1.7.10 for some older mods, but when I create all the server files, there's no folders for "mods" or "config." When I go to join the server, it's labeled in the multiplayer menu as vanilla. Adding the folders myself doesn't seem to do anything as they don't load, and the server is still labeled "vanilla." This is after running the "1.7.10 - 10.13.4.1614" jar installed from the website (https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.7.10.html) Here's after running minecraft_server.1.7.10.jar the first time And here's after accepting the eula and running minecraft_server.1.7.10.jar again The "mods" or "config" folders never appear. The "forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1614-1.7.10-universal.jar" file has done nothing throughout the whole process. help

And it should have generated a log or something, which you should post. The log you posted looks like it's from a vanilla server (the minecraft_server jar file)

May 20May 20 Start the jar with a run.bat file Create a text document and paste java -Xmx4G -jar forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1614-1.7.10-universal.jar pause Rename the file to start.bat and start the server with this file Try my Modpack >>Link to Curseforge<<

May 21May 21 You will need Java 8 JRE to run a Forge 1.7.10 server Currently, you are using a newer Java version In your script, replace the world java with the java 8 path and put it into quotation marks For example: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_311\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx4G -jar forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1614-1.7.10-universal.jar pause Try my Modpack >>Link to Curseforge<<

I will try this later and update you then

May 21May 21 Author I did that and it gave no errors, but also did nothing. what am I doing wrong? "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_451\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx2G -jar forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1614-1.7.10-universal.jar pause
