Hello, I am having issues getting up a server up and running from a modpack. The issue always seems to be one or two mods that don't load correctly resulting in this error

Forge: net.minecraftforge:47.3.12[19:22:00] [main/ERROR] [minecraft/Main]: Failed to start the minecraft server

but I'm not sure how to diagnose the problem properly. The procedure I use to try get this server up is copy and replace all the files from the serverpack folder using a ftp and set the startup command to 'bash start.sh'.
If anyone has any experience or suggestions please let me know. Thank you

hangon sorry i think ive found a suitable startup command and server launches now

wraith wren
#

if u do stuff properly you dont need to manually edit any startup commands but ok

I mean exactly what I said?

ive been trying to find tutorials but theyre scarce online. the closest was telling me to pay to get a blueprint plugin that does the modpack installation for me

okay, so you see the minecraft version & modloader & modloader versions

#

these annoying ass "server starter things" use the script to download those & the java

#

but those arent needed in pterodactyl

#

Also recommended Java version can be seen

#

So create a new server, with the Forge egg.
The forge version thing is going to be 1.20.1-47.3.12 (aka minecraft version + forge version)

#

Java is going to be 17

#

Then after the install is finished, go upload the serverpack there and extract it

#

Should work

funny thing is i did all that previously last night. dont quite remember what the issue was but didnt startup so i spent all of today looking for a solution

wraith wren
#

well you can try again & let me know what issues you may face

cloud pulsar
#

what ive done now is changed the default start command from
java -Xms128M -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=95.0 -Dterminal.jline=false -Dterminal.ansi=true $( [[ ! -f unix_args.txt ]] && printf %s "-jar server.jar" || printf %s "@unix_args.txt" )

to

java -Xms10240M -Xmx10240M @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/47.3.12/unix_args.txt nogui

#

no need to change if u do what i said

cloud pulsar
#

okay hang on, ill change it back rq and check

#

hmmm yeah it just gets stuck or something

#

not sure how to diagnose what the main issue is, the terminal log is crazy long

#

might hafta do with me changing the command around and around

#

@wraith wren i appreciate you trying to help tho

#

anyway i can close this thread?
