To convert a ZIP file into a JAR file, you can follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you have Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system.

  2. Rename the ZIP file extension to .jar.

  3. Open Command Prompt (CMD) or Terminal.

  4. Use the following command to convert the ZIP to JAR:
    jar cf yourfilename.jar -C yourzipfile.zip .

  5. Press Enter and wait for the process to complete.

If you are still facing issues with the conversion, double-check that you have correctly renamed the file extension and that there are no errors in the command syntax. Additionally, ensure that you are running the command in the correct directory where your ZIP file is located. If you continue to encounter problems, feel free to ask for further assistance on this Discord server or seek help from online resources. Remember, making mistakes is a part of learning, so don't be too hard on yourself!

A jar isn't zipping up your java files and renaming it from .zip to .jar.

#

also why do you have a zip

#

it makes no sense

#

you are supposed to create a jar from class files

hearty horizon
#

not because its wrong

#

but because

# 
jar \
  --create \
  --file out.jar \
  -C build/classes .
#

sure is easier to read

Is there a way to edit my post to show it is solved

short silo
#

also it won't work if you are trying to run it

#

and

#

you shouldn't do any of that at the first place and instead use a build tool

sharp bobcat
#

I think this is related to some mod or similar

#

and thus it works

wut

#

editing?

#

how did you do that?

late plinth
#

Yeah an nbt file was crashing my game so I extracted it, removed the file, zipped, renamed to jar and now it works

topaz totem
#

Hmm, now I wonder how it's handling that file not found.
