Ubuntu 18.04, Forge server 1.12.2-14.23.5.2487.

[Info] AMP Instance Manager v1.9.9.5 built 13/05/2020 00:20
[Info] Release spec: Release - built by CUBECODERS/buildbot on CCL-DEV

AMP isn't smart enough to know which version of java is required to run a certain Forge server jar file so just creating and running a Forge server in AMP doesn't work, but I can run it on my server in command line with:

~/.ampdata/instances/Minecraft01/Minecraft $
    /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java -Xms1G -Xmx3G -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2847-universal.jar nogui

I know I can set the JVM arguments in AMP but I cannot find where to set which java binary AMP uses - how can I do that? I tried to alias 'java' to my java binary but that didn't work.

Nvm, I found the answer despite it being a bit unintuitive. Posting solution here in case someone else runs into this.

You can add the path to the Java exe in a file called MinecraftModule.kvp which is visible in the ADS File Manager browser, NOT in the Minecraft Instance file manager. For me its under /VDSMinecraft01/MinecarftModule.kvp and at the very top of the file I was able to set "Java.Path=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java" and now it works :)

Edit: I can't seem to "Mark as Answer", the button doesn't seem to work on Chrome
