Server Arguments

[Rafii2198]

So I was trying to set up some 1.16 servers and as always I added -Xmx9216m to set more ram but when ever I launch the server it says something like "-X is unkown argument" but when removed - from -Xmx9216m it launches but I have no idea if it is working.
Did something changed in newer versions? It is first time I am setting 1.16 server, before I only set 1.12 and below servers...

Show the complete command you used.

I usually use this in my 1.12 servers: 

java.exe -jar server.jar -Xmx9216M -Xms4096M nogui

 But when I used it in my 1.16 server console showed this:

[17:07:28] [main/FATAL] [minecraft/Main]: Failed to start the minecraft server

So I then I did this:
 

java -jar server.jar Xmx9216M Xms4096M nogui

And it launched, but I don't know if these Xmx and Xms are applied

Any java parameters must come before the -jar.
