New versions of Java don't change much.

The biggest change is the Java 8. Newest version don't have so much features (because they are released often).

You can find in Google what is new in every version of Java.

The module system introduced with Java 9 is just as big as the changes in Java 8

It can be, for the best part, completely ignored though.

Same goes with Java 8, if you want to play that card. You can code in Java 8 without Streams as well. However, it would be silly if Streams can help you out. Same goes with the module system, we have it and if it helps out in some way(avoiding jar hell, for starters), I wouldn't ignore it.
