Unable to start server

[253488655422]

I don't care if someone else had this issue I've been looking over the issues and it was never explained how to fix this: I tried replacing the server start commands multiple times and reloaded the config. (Also I changed the server version to 1.20.1 and protocol to 763 and it still didn't change it still thinks the client needs to be 1.19.3

I updated to Java 21 and I got less errors but now I have a different error even though I'm running Purpur for 1.20.1 I got: Error: Could not find or load main class io.papermc.paperclip.Main Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: io.papermc.paperclip.Main

I switched back to to spigot and I got the same error: Error: Could not find or load main class org.bukkit.craftbukkit.bootstrap.Main Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.bukkit.craftbukkit.bootstrap.Main

Since purpur is a fork of paper and spigot is a fork of bukkit I think that's why it's called that in the error.

My friend help test it on his end he found out that you have to set the sever path/directory on line 30 to have double slashes \ for windows. (C:\folder\server)
