The bug
Since 18w05a you cannot start the server with GUI. This affects double clicking the .jar file and launching it with the arguments
java -jar server.jarLooking at the log file or at the console you launched the server from shows that it stops right after logging "[main/INFO]: Loaded 0 advancements" and does not do anything afterwards.
Launching it without GUI works fine

It appears this affects not everyone.

A little annoying. At least there is an easy fix for now 🙂
I don't even use the GUI anyway... I use the console that comes up.
Launching without GUI does not solve the issue in some cases (including my own). Server hangs regardless.
Can confirm, the issue still occours in 18w16a.

To me it seems random whether the server starts or gets stuck. I'm launching it with GUI.
Sometimes it works at first try, sometimes it takes 10-20 restarts.
