Hello,

This is my first thread here, I've read the EAQ and I hope everything will be fine.

 

I'm trying to host a localhost Forge server (1.12.2) but, apparently, the Windows Forge Installer (version 14.23.5.2768) doesn't install everything that's required for the server to start up: first of all, it creates no "mods" folder. Secondly, I can't run the server because of some error the console shows me. Here I'll attach the log Forge prints when installing libraries and the start.bat file I use to start my server up, along with a screenshot of the server files I have in there.

Thank you, I hope you'll be able to help me.start_server.bat

Here's the error

Could you tell me how to use a specific Java version when executing the command? Or do I need to uninstall every Java version until I only have Java 8? I'm on Windows 10

 

I will, thank you
