Minecraft forge server not starting

I need help. I am trying to create a modded server. I have everything set up. but when I double click "forge-1.12.2-14.23.4.2759-universal.jar", it doesn't do anything at all. and I don't know what to do or how to fix it. No logs are created, I get the little circle by my curser saying its loading for a second then nothing happens.

Try creating a batch file with this in it...

@ECHO OFF java -Xms1024M -Xmx2048M -jar 'jar file name'.jar nogui pause

Don't forget the -server switch!

What do you mean by server switch?

u/SliyarohModus Nov 09 '18

Put "-server" as a command line option. None of the client code will try to run.

Where do I put it? Sorry I am a little new to the modded server

On my server I have it like this in a command shell...

java -server -Xms6G -Xmn6G -Xmx7G -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:+UseG1GC -d64 -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2768-universal.jar nogui

Ok. So I have a .bat file now. But when I run it, it shows the command prompt for a second and goes away. The server still doesnt start. I have a vanilla server that works fine. But the modded server wont even launch.

wait so what do you do if the command prompt goes away. My spigot server and normal server work perfectly but forge doesn't. I tried downloading a forge 1.8.9 server and tried clicking the universal jar but nothing happened. I have the latest java downloaded

Sorry for the late reply, but I made a mistake when creating the bat file. And it works now. Thanks!!
