Linux - ServerStart.sh keeps re-installing Forge and never actually starts

[snaiperskaya]

Firstly, the script does NOT like Java 17, but I was able to get around that issue by disabling the Java check.

Now, every time I launch the script, it asks if I want to reinstall. Whether I say yes or no, it starts installing Forge (which looks like it's successful: the log file shows it's completed at the end, but no Forge or Minecraft server Jars are generated) and will repeatedly loop on this until finally failing. I did seem to get slightly further after correcting the error in the script noted in #93 but it does not resolve the issue.

Also, your discord link expired, or I'd ask someone there :D

My workaround is using ServerStart.sh -i to install forge (or use the installer that comes with the server pack if there is one), then I use the following script:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/bin/java \
    -Xmx"6G" \
    -d64 -server \
    -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:ParallelGCThreads=3 -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC \
    -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent \
    -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=10 -XX:GCPauseIntervalMillis=50 -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods \
    -XX:+OptimizeStringConcat -XX:NewSize=84m -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:NewRatio=3 \
    -Dfml.readTimeout=90 -Dfml.queryResult=confirm \
    -jar "forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2860.jar" nogui

I use /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/bin/java instead of java because some forge versions require java8.
Replace forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2860.jar with your forge jar.
