When I start my forge server with sponge, I’m able to join the server, but the gui does not appear and I cannot access the server console
running windows 7.
the server gui starts fine when I remove the spongeforge jar again.
sponge mods are working, everything works fine, it’s just that there’s no GUI or console, it makes managing the server very difficult and bothersome
does anyone know what’s wrong?
Sponge intensionally disables the GUI, as it drastically decrases esrver performace. You’ll need to start the server on the command line by running java -jar <forge-jar.jar>
ahh I see, that worked, I had been trying javaw before and that wasn’t putting it in the command window, but using java instead is working, thanks
That is in fact the purpose of javaw - to run java programs without a command window.
that makes a lot of sense then, I hadn’t known the difference before
