How do you start a Modded (Spigot) Minecraft server locally?

Question

I'm new to Java, so I followed this tutorial to learn how to make a Modded Minecraft server. But, in the tutorial, it isn't shown how to run the .jar file as a server, on my own PC. When I try the CMD command java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar jarfile.jar, I get this error:

no main manifest attribute, in jarfile.jar

Is there any way that I can run a server from the .jar file? Thank you in advance!

No one is going to watch the whole video to figure out what you did. Tell us what you did to produce that jarfile. — Joachim Sauer, May 16 '21 at 16:40

What the video is about is called a plugin, not a server or modification. You create a .jar plugin that needs to be placed in the plugins folder in the server directory.

The plugin will be loaded during the server startup process, so it does not require a separate launch.

Oh I thought the jar file runs independently. Thanks! – vismodo May 17 '21 at 00:48
