i have tried everything and the server does not start.
i have tried:
running the given scripts
changing java version from java 8 to java 18
downloading forge installer and installing a fresh forge server as i thought it may be that the given forge.jar was broken (forge-1.16.5-36.2.33-installer.jar)
nothing worked the server always crashed on statup

cave factory 1.2.0
attached log file
latest.log

Change the forge version to 36.2.36, you can do that via the curseforge options for the modpack it shows ability to change forge version and thus make it work instantly. Version 36.2.33 of forge is screwed and the pack needs to have it updated to the better version

@iothefrog Delete Performant the mod shouldnt be on servers and is in the pack. Causes massive crashing issues.
