Problem Description

Issue

I’m trying to start a NeoForge MC server w/ Create+ and it say’s it cant, not because of AMP but some other. I am attempting to host the server on a Lenovo Thinkcentre M170q w/ 8gb of ram and 256gb of ssd storage, running on Ubuntu LTS 26.04. I’ve checked the server’s logs like it says to but I cant find anything in there either.

Reproduction Steps

  • Have Neoforge 21.1.233 and Create+ for MC version 1.21.1 installed
  • Go to status page of server and press “Start”
  • AMP will do the loading stuff, then ‘cancel’ the startup and give the message “Server quit within 5 seconds of starting” and tells you to check your logs
