CMD: Error: Unable to acces jarfile MinecraftServer

[CaptainChaos37]

so this is the first time im trying to set up my own Minecraft Server.

i downloaded and installed the most recent version of Java, installed Minecraft Server 1.14.4, and put that server file in a seperate Folder in my D drive named "MinecraftServer".

i opened CMD as administrator, and i then typed as followed:

 

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.30]
(c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. Alle rechten voorbehouden.
 

C:\Windows\system32>D:
 

D:\>java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar MinecraftServer

Error: Unable to access jarfile MinecraftServer

D:\>

 

What am i doing wrong and what can i do to fix this?

You need to provide the path to the file, not just a directory. Something like:

java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar MinecraftServer\server.jar

 

Edited to add: You probably shouldn't be running that process as an administrator for security reasons.
