-===== Notes =====
-If you are required to name the main jar ''%%server.jar%%'', first rename the original ''%%server.jar%%'' to ''%%vanilla.jar%%'' and update the name in ''%%fabric-server-launcher.properties%%'' to ''%%serverJar=vanilla.jar%%''. Then, the ''%%fabric-server-launch.jar%%'' file can be named anything
-If you are unable to run any commands on the server, you can perform all these steps on your own computer and transfer both files in your server directory
