Hello, I am making a homemade Minecraft server and when I start up the .bat file the code says Error: Unable to access jarfile craftbukkit-1.12.jar. Any way to fix that error so I can continue and port forward my server?
Best regards,
Setrus

Well... The obvious answer is to make sure you get the jarfile. A server is basically nothing more but a jarfile, which in its turn is basically a "Java program".
But there is a bit of a problem; the Bukkit project is pretty much dead right now (sort off), your best chances are with the Spigot project (even the Bukkit FAQ itself mentions them). And I think this is also the solution to your problem: get BuildTools (follow the link), make sure you have a Java developers kit ("JDK") installed (once again: follow the link) and finally you're also going to need Git (it becomes repetitive: follow the link ;) ).
If you have those set up you can then start BuildTools and it will build both Craftbukkit as well as Spigot for you. Both have their place, but I think you may get better results if you stick with Spigot. But that's just my opinion.
Here you'll find a wiki page which explains the build process in more detail. Once you completed these steps you'll have your jarfile and should be well on your way with your server.
Good luck!
