Fix Forge 1.20.1 Startup Crash
Summary
WiseHosting announcement covers a Forge 1.20.1 server crash on startup caused by libXrender.so.1 missing. The user requests adding the JVM flag -Djava.awt.headless=true to the server start command to prevent java.awt native library errors. The post asks staff to open a ticket so the WiseHosting team can inspect and apply the fix for affected servers.
"My Forge 1.20.1 server crashes on startup with libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file. I need the JVM flag -Djava.awt.headless=true added to my server's startup command. This flag isn't available in the JVM flags panel. Can you add it manually?" heres the last line before my server command line hangs:
Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/java/openjdk/lib/libawt_xawt.so: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

forge 1.20.1 crashes on startup because its missing libxrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file. ive asked claude and it tells me that it needs a jvm flag called -Djava.awt.headless to be equal to true in the start up command. is there anyway to fix this?
Could you please open a ticket so our team can take a closer look at this?
