JAR
A JAR file contains Java classes and associated metadata and resources; it is often executed as a program by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
In Minecraft, it may refer to:
client.jar– a JAR file that contains the game program and assets of Minecraft: Java Edition.
server.jar– a JAR file that only contains the resources necessary to run a Java Edition server.
