Server Setup

[balmy tiger]

Attempting to set up a server for me and a couple of friends. I've also looked on YouTube but could only find videos for Server Packs that come with the server.bat and forge.jar file

You have to start a normal forge server (same version as the pack I think) and then just drag over the files

Got it thanks

Did you have success with launching your server?

I set up a forge server and then downloaded the Perfect world server pack. When I launch the server it doesn't launch the forge server

I tested just the server itself and that works

"C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-17.0.9.9-hotspot\bin\java.exe" @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.20.1-47.2.0/win_args.txt %*
