You aren't using the version of Java you think you are; Java 8 has no concept of modules, but the stack trace mentions them.

Either remove the later version of Java or edit the start script so that it uses Java 8 by absolute path, e.g.

@echo off

call settings.bat

:start_server
echo Starting Sky Factory 4 Server...
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre-1.8\bin\java.exe" -server -Xms%MIN_RAM% -Xmx%MAX_RAM% %JAVA_PARAMETERS% -jar %SERVER_JAR% nogui
pause
exit /B

goto start_server

Note that the quotes around the path are required.
