THANK YOU. All other tutorials skipped a lot of steps this was very in depth leaving no room for doubt

[@horaryzappy]

For anyone who gets an error after starting the server, it's probably because you have two java versions installed, and forge defaults to using the most recent one. To tell forge wich java version to use, just write this in your bat file: "C:\Program Files\Java\YOUR JAVA VERSION FOLDER NAME\bin\java.exe" -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar forge.jar nogui (mind that your java.exe file could be in a different position)

[@germangamermax1974]

@@elite2773 You need to use java 8, you need an Oracle account for it and then you gotta write: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_331\bin\java.exe" -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar forge.jar nogui of course that can change depending on where your java is, but that was my thing.

Hi, I was going to comment about the 9:00 part saying that I had a InvocotationTargetException error, but found a solution: going to search bar > add or remove programs > java versions showcased I had both java 8 and java 17. You need to un-install any other java version aside from java 8. He mentioned it in the video but I figured I'd leave this comment to help someone. Hope this helps!

Got stuck on this for a while, looked at this comment, saw that I had Java Dev Kit Installed, went to uninstall, then got a message saying the application that I use for my job wouldn't work without Java Dev Kit. Now I need to use another computer to run the server on :/ Thanks for the help though!

[@rinix3856]

I followed TheBreakdown's tutorial, a bigger channel with probably more experience and budget, but I just couldn't get the server to work with mods. Then I stumbled upon your video and now I can make a fully functional server. THANK YOU!!!

[@monikamyszko5512]

Yeah it never got the mods folder

[@95mmarier]

Same exact thing. I remembered that at the start of each video he does a small AD for a Hosting server and how easy it is to do with them if you pay, and then the video starts and nothing works? wierd isnt? is it conspiracy? i dont think so hahah jk

[@garrettefoster2486]

So I have told server made and all the mods installed on the server and locally and when I load the server all the mods are there but you can’t use them. For instance if you go in creative you can see modded items but if you put them in your inventory you can use/place them. Any fix for this or am I just destined for failure

BOOM, great video man simple and straight forward

[@samohraje2433]

I'm really curious right now. What is happening to my server - i have 108mods ( they are really heavy ) , they load just as fine as mods in a client pc BUT after like 10 seconds the server suddenly shuts down. I don't know what is 100% a problem but i have only 8G of RAM installed on that server and in that run.bat file i allocated 5G and now i'm wondering, is it plenty or is it too little. Right now my server PC has some things to do so i will give it a time to update itself and then i will try to install another stick of 2G RAM and give it a try. And also i will alocate 7G instead of 5 so hopefully it'll be alright

[@gosc_z_bydgoszczy]

It will open the server but it’s not the proper way. The run.bat is better to be able to run the sever you can dedicate RAM to it.

don't listen to him, it just start the server with 2 GB of ram, nothing to worry about if you run it accidentally
