So, I’ve made a vanilla server, then abandoned it for creating a Sponge server from scratch. The docs say to not double click the jar file, so I start it from the command line. Is there a way to make the GUI that I got from double-clicking the jar file in my vanilla server?
The Minecraft server GUI console is disabled by Sponge.

Zirconium is right, but they didn’t say what the reasoning was.
The reason I’ve heard is that the server GUI is very inperformant anyway, and that you will get a lot better performance benefits by just not using it.
I think but I’m not 100% that Forge also removes the GUI, so it may have also been a decision to keep SpongeVanilla consistent with SpongeForge if that is the case.
Performance.
Forge doesn’t disable the gui, but you shouldn’t use it (the gui…) anyways. 
If you want a gui i suggest a 3rd party gui, there are several available.
If you add SpongeForge to Forge, SF will also disable the gui.
Ok, I got it now. I guess the world won’t end if I have to use the command prompt.
