KBomb Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I've been trying to create a Forge 1.16.5 server for a while now. When creating the server I'll drop the mods into the server's mod folder and run the server. However on the server list my server says its still vanilla. I'm not sure what to do.

KBomb Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'm starting the server using the "minecraft_server.1.16.5.jar". I know that other many sources say to use a .bat instead but I couldn't get the .bat to work. Also, I may be wrong to say this, but I don't think it really matters if I use a .bat.

KBomb Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 I am either un-aware of Forge.jar's location or I don't have it for some reason. I've attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing in the server's main folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBomb Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 I figured you’d say that lol. I tried to run that already after you said I need to run Forge.jar, I think that something is happening after running Forge.jar. However, I would think that I would see a server console window appear after running. I don’t see that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBomb Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Sorry I'm not to familiar with console commands. I'm not sure what your asking me to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBomb Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Ran it through the command prompt and it said I didn't agree to the EULA. as you can see though I've already set the the EULA to =true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBomb Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Again, I'm sorry I don't know how to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBomb Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yes that was it. I gave it some time before I sent those images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBomb Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 To do that I would use: java -Xms3G -Xmx3G -jar forge-1.16.5-36.0.42.jar. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBomb Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 I really do appreciate all your help. Running the command I asked about above did the trick. The server console has opened and the mods have been successfully loaded on 1G and is running smoothly. My final question is, do you recommend that I create a .bat file with the command below for whenever I wish to launch my server again: java -Xms1G -Xmx1G -jar forge-1.16.5-36.0.42.jar The last time I used a .bat with a similar command, the prompt said that Forge.jar could not be found. So would I have to put in a cd to the server folder before the command above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
