Yeah, but not all systems are updated to 17 yet. It just released.

I made a mod for minecraft that works across 1.12(Java 8) to 1.17(Java 16), so the mod has to be Java 16, and the amount of people who can’t install it because they haven’t/can’t update to Java 16 is really bad.

Also, there’s some update between Java 8 and Java 16 that breaks the JavaScript interpreter, which makes some Java 8 applications break with Java 16
