Compatibility with Create: Above and Beyond 1.3 for MC 1.16.5

Hi! Has anybody had luck with the latest version of DH with CA&B? I can't get the server to start when I add the mod, but the latest DH says that it now works on servers so you can see distant chunks without visiting there. Currently working: ATLauncher/manual setup Server - Minecraft 1.16.5, forge-1.16.5-36.2.34.jar, DistantHorizons N/A Client - Minecraft 1.16.5, forge-1.16.5-36.2.20-client.jar, DistantHorizons-2.1.2-a-1.16.5-forge-fabric.jar New and busted: ATLauncher/manual setup Server - Minecraft 1.16.5, forge-1.16.5-36.2.34.jar (or .20 or .39), DistantHorizons-fabric-forge-2.3.0-b-1.16.5.jar Client - N/A (server fails at startup)
Solution:
If you have this issue, try disabling auto updates on the server. I found my config file in my server folder at \config\DistantHorizons.toml. Find the line with "enableAutoUpdater = true" and set it to false.

Well it won't let me put the crash details, but I found this: Description: Exception in server tick loop java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: null at loaderCommon.forge.com.seibel.distanthorizons.common.AbstractModInitializer.checkForUpdates(AbstractModInitializer.java:180) ... Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Attempted to load class net/minecraft/client/Minecraft for invalid dist DEDICATED_SERVER I checked this server for that DEDICATED_SERVER bit and someone else said disabling auto update made it work! I turned that off and the server started up! So I get to post a solution instead of question today. 😇

Thanks to @Celivalg for marking his answer as the solution! That worked without changing jar versions. (ATLauncher picked these) So my client is forge 36.2.20 and server is 36.2.34 but it works even though the DH page says the 1.16.5 mod is compatible with 36.2.39.
