Minecraft Server won’t open

minecraft-java-editiontechnical-issues

I've downloaded both the 1.7.2's for the game itself and the multiplayer server. When I click on minecraft_server.1.7.2 the application won't even open, it'll load up logs but nothing else, it won't bring the minecraft server page up. I have also tried running it in admin mode, nothing changed. What am I doing wrong?

This is what I'm trying to open but when I click on the application it won't even load, it'll just bring up logs. It won't load world, banned-ips, banned-players, ops, server, or white-list.

Attempt to launch the jar with a batch file.

This can be created by opening notepad and typing the following,

java -Xmx2G -Xms2G -jar minecraft_server.1.7.4.jar -o true
pause

Save this file as launcher.bat, and store it in the same directory as your jar file.

This should now launch the server. Good luck!
