Mate, you're a life saver. Been pulling my hairs out over this and you're the only video that helped. Thanks!

It's great you looked at it from multiple directions. In my case I saw nothing come from the Echo so I checked my path variable and it was set incorrectly towards somewhere in Android studio. You set me on the right path with this video, thanks a lot!

Dude, this guy is straight up for the problem. I have a problem with "could not reserve enough space for object heap", and I was confused. and you know what he says. "just uninstall your java and download java version 64-bit. And it's work bro...

And now I get this problem. hopefully, I can fix it...

This guy is recommended for those who want to make a server

After doing all this, I still couldn't get it to work. I looked around for a bit and realised it was all because the *'Java Executable'* path in the Minecraft launcher was wrong, if you have done all this and still don't get it to work, please go to *'Installations'* in your minecraft launcher, then click the three dots on the all the way to the left of the installation, click *'more options'* click *'browse'* on the *'java executable'* path. Go to your folder with java, select *'javaw.exe'* and then open. Then it should work.

thank you so much for this. Idk why java has to have two different numbers for each version. I'm downloading version 17 now so hopefully that'll fix my issue

How about Bukki GUI? I have a feeling there may be a support issue as the version is not listed in the dropdown! I wish Bukkitgui had a prompt you could type in. I can get the main program to run, just not my server which runs on my same system for now <3 Thanks!
