forge run.sh script question
Looking at the script, I see:
java @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.18.2-40.2.9/unix_args.txt "$@"
It all makes sense, but I am confused as normally when starting a vanilla server, you would have
-jar server.jar at the end of the line and I expected this would be in the unix_args.txt file, but it is not so I am looking for help understanding how it actually starts the forge-1.18.2-40.2.9-universal.jar server?6 Replies

Forge doesn't start a jar file itself.
Yes, but the run.sh script must use the -jar server.jar flag? Otherwise how would the jar file be run
-jar is not required. The txt file it points to tells Java what to do
This is what I want to understand, what in the txt file starts the .jar ?
Note: I know it does work, but for my curiosity I would like to understand
You can read it, it's loading up all the files it needs, and uses -cp to specify the class it needs to load
