Minecraft Forge Server Refuses to Start with Start.Command File

First post here.

 

A recurring issue with Forge servers for me, regardless of my mods, client or server, is that I can never get the universal jar to launch.  I have used the installer for version 1.12.2 2808 and followed all the customary procedures.  If I just double click the jar, it opens fine, but using the command file I cannot seem to get it to work.  I have also tried to run without any mods in the mods folder but with the same result every time.  I desire to use start.command so I can run Forge with JVM arguments in order to allocate more RAM.

 

The error appearing is as follows:

A problem occurred running the Server launcher.java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

... 6 more

 

(I am sorry, I can't figure out how to use spoilers)

 

I have read the EAQs and the response to this problem (the cannot be cast problem) is that I ought to be running Java 8.  I am running Update 201 Java 8 for Mac OS 10.13.6 and have updated, restarted, and tried all this today as well as in the past.  I have even gone as far as to use iTerm.  

Any help?  

 

Logs are attached.  They probably contain too much information from the successful, non-start.command file runs but I hope what I have attached is helpful.  Let me know please if any other information is required.  Thanks so much.

This is indicative of trying to launch Forge with Java 9 or later, you need to use Java 8 specifically.

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Spoiler

Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose):

Spoiler

Please post logs using one of the following sites (Thank you Lumber Wizard for the list):

https://gist.github.com/: 100MB Requires member (Free)

https://pastebin.com/: 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)

https://hastebin.com/: 400KB

Do NOT use sites like Mediafire, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or a site that has a countdown before offering downloads.

 

What to provide:

...for Crashes and Runtime issues:

Minecraft 1.14.4 and newer:

Post debug.log

Older versions:

Please update...

 

...for Installer Issues:

Post your installer log, found in the same place you ran the installer

This log will be called either installer.log or named the same as the installer but with .log on the end

Note for Windows users:

Windows hides file extensions by default so the installer may appear without the .jar extension then when the .log is added the log will appear with the .jar extension

 

Where to get it:

Mojang Launcher: When using the Mojang launcher debug.log is found in .minecraft\logs.

 

Curse/Overwolf: If you are using the Curse Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Curse's installation of the Minecraft launcher as long as it is not launched THROUGH Twitch:

Spoiler
  1. Make sure you have the correct version of Forge installed (some packs are heavily dependent on one specific build of Forge)
  2. Make a launcher profile targeting this version of Forge.
  3. Set the launcher profile's GameDir property to the pack's instance folder (not the instances folder, the folder that has the pack's name on it).
  4. Now launch the pack through that profile and follow the "Mojang Launcher" instructions above.

or alternately, 

 

Fallback ("No logs are generated"):

If you don't see logs generated in the usual place, provide the launcher_log.txt from .minecraft

 

Server Not Starting:

Spoiler

If your server does not start or a command window appears and immediately goes away, run the jar manually and provide the output.

 

Reporting Illegal/Inappropriate Adfocus Ads:

Spoiler

Get a screenshot of the URL bar or copy/paste the whole URL into a thread on the General Discussion board with a description of the Ad.

Lex will need the Ad ID contained in that URL to report it to Adfocus' support team.

 

Posting your mod as a GitHub Repo:

Spoiler

When you have an issue with your mod the most helpful thing you can do when asking for help is to provide your code to those helping you. The most convenient way to do this is via GitHub or another source control hub.

When setting up a GitHub Repo it might seem easy to just upload everything, however this method has the potential for mistakes that could lead to trouble later on, it is recommended to use a Git client or to get comfortable with the Git command line. The following instructions will use the Git Command Line and as such they assume you already have it installed and that you have created a repository.

 

  1. Open a command prompt (CMD, Powershell, Terminal, etc).
  2. Navigate to the folder you extracted Forge’s MDK to (the one that had all the licenses in).
  3. Run the following commands:
    1. git init
    2. git remote add origin [Your Repository's URL]
      • In the case of GitHub it should look like: https://GitHub.com/[Your Username]/[Repo Name].git
    3. git fetch
    4. git checkout --track origin/master
    5. git stage *
    6. git commit -m "[Your commit message]"
    7. git push
  4. Navigate to GitHub and you should now see most of the files.
    • note that it is intentional that some are not synced with GitHub and this is done with the (hidden) .gitignore file that Forge’s MDK has provided (hence the strictness on which folder git init is run from)
  5. Now you can share your GitHub link with those who you are asking for help.

[Workaround line, please ignore]

      RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY IS THE FUTURE OF BITCOIN RECOVERY AND SECURITY

      By jaysonwilfred12 · Posted

      Reach Out To Rapid Digital: What sapp Info: +1 41 4 80 7 14 85 Email INFO: rap iddi gita lrecov ery @ exe cs. com Hello, my name is Jayson, and I’m 35 years old from the United Kingdom. My family and I recently endured an incredibly challenging experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. We became victims of a cryptocurrency investment fraud scheme that saw us lose a staggering $807,000 in USDT and Bitcoins. The fraudsters had created a convincing facade, and we were lured into investing, only to discover later that the platform was a complete scam. We were left devastated, not just financially, but emotionally, as we had trusted these people and believed in the legitimacy of the investment. After the initial shock wore off, we desperately searched for ways to recover the lost funds. It seemed like an impossible task, and we felt as though there was no hope. That’s when, by sheer luck, we stumbled across a post about Rapid Digital Recovery, a cryptocurrency and funds recovery organization with a proven track record in cybersecurity and fraud recovery. We decided to reach out to them, and from the first interaction, we were impressed with their professionalism and transparency. They explained the recovery process in detail and reassured us that they had the skills and expertise to track down the perpetrators and recover our funds. This gave us a renewed sense of hope, something we hadn’t felt in months. What truly stood out during our experience with Rapid Digital Recovery was their dedication to the recovery process. The team went above and beyond, using sophisticated tracking tools and cyber forensics to gather critical information. Within a matter of weeks, they had successfully located the funds and traced the scam back to the fraudsters responsible. They worked with the authorities to ensure the criminals were held accountable for their actions. To our relief, the team at Rapid Digital Recovery was able to recover every single penny we had lost. The funds were returned in full, and the sense of closure we felt was invaluable. We couldn’t have imagined such a positive outcome in the early stages of our recovery journey, and we are deeply grateful for the work they did. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend contacting Rapid Digital Recovery. Their expertise, transparency, and dedication to their clients make them the go-to choice for anyone seeking to recover lost cryptocurrency or funds. They truly gave us back our financial future.

      [1.21.4] Could not resolve LocalPlayer.sendSystemMessage

      By Cherry05 · Posted

      This is my first time modding anything, so maybe just skill issue. I'm using Forge 54.0.12 and Temurin 21.0.5+11-LTS I wanted to create a custom keybind and to check whether it works I'd like to send a chat message. I tried using Minecraft.getInstance().player.sendSystemMessage(Component.literal("test")); but IntelliJ couldnt resolve sendSystemMessage(...). Since I saw people using it in earlier versions, I tried the same thing with 1.20.6(- 50.1.0), where it works fine, now I can't figure out if this is intentional and whether there are other options for sending chat messages. On that note, is there more documentation than https://docs.minecraftforge.net/en/1.21.x/? It seems very incomplete compared to something like the Oracle Java docs
