Perhaps, but the MinecraftServer mechanism has changed significantly since 21w39a. If you start 21w39a as is, you will see the following directory structure.

root/
    ┠ libraries/
    ┃┗ mojang
    ┃    ┗ authlib
    ┃        ┗ 3.1.36
    ┃            ┗ authlib-3.1.36.jar
    ┃        etc...
    ┃   etc...
    ┠ versions

Yes, there were some major changes recently regarding how the Minecraft server is distributed... but you weren't the first to find them. Give it another try after updating VanillaCord.

I'm sorry. I was downloading from Github. I downloaded the latest version from jenkins and was able to start it safely.
