Question Installing PaperMC

[PLGC_AK47]

The PaperMC jar file is downloaded and moved to a new folder.

When doubling clicking to execute the beginning process (to actually make the new server files), nothing happens.
---No Errors---No files being made---No processes in the background---nothing

I've tried this on two separate computers. Nothing happens on each. Am I being an idiot or something?


Windows 10 Pro; i7-6700; GTX 1660ti; 32GB RAM

I'd recommend running a start script to see why your server can't be started. Something simple like this start.bat file should do the trick for testing.

java -jar <file-name>.jar
PAUSE

You can then look at the output to see what is going on.

Thanks for the tip.

Ran the script and came up with Java Version outdated.

For some reason Java 17 still didn't work on it but I downloaded Java 21 and it worked.


Thanks!
