I'm not familiar with Windows Server 2012 Core Mode. Does this use a graphical desktop, an interactive console, or neither of these?

To run MinimServer in an interactive console, you should cd to the directory C:\Program Files\MinimServer\lib and run the command

java -jar mserver.jar

This won't create the minim icon in the system tray. If you want to create this icon, cd to the same directory and run the command

javaw -jar mserver.jar

Hello Simon,

Sorry the OP didn't answer your question, but yes, I would characterize WS 2012R2 core mode as an interactive console, or what we call the command line. I'm not sure about installing Java though. My question was the same, but for WS 2012R2 GUI mode. Are you aware of any problems with it? How about WS 2016 GUI mode?
