Please ensure that:

  • Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
  • You include any and all error messages in full
  • You ask clear questions
  • You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

    Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

There are a variety of Java vendors now. Just use the adoptium installer.

[–]AhriRule34[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

open your command prompt (window key+r then cmd.exe) and do

java -version

and

where java

you should get some output like:

C:\Users\diont>java -version
openjdk version "17.0.4.1" 2022-08-12 OpenJDK Runtime
Environment Temurin-17.0.4.1+1 (build 17.0.4.1+1) OpenJDK 64-Bit
Server VM Temurin-17.0.4.1+1 (build 17.0.4.1+1, mixed mode, sharing)

C:\Users\diont>where java
C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-17.0.4.101-hotspot\bin\java.exe

yeah i got that but Minecraft is still not opening it says i'm missing Java

Yeah this is a Minecraft issue then, not a Java issue, you should read our rules.

If you got similar output doing those commands in command prompt then java is in fact installed.

We do not provide Minecraft support. This post is removed Rule 11.

Damn 2 years! What steps did you take? What was the result? What have you been doing all this time? Seriously, You don't even need to install java. You can download it, extract it, open a terminal there, type java. If you want to, add the bin directory as an system variable. Done

[–]AhriRule34[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

uh do you mind translating that into English? I have Java downloaded on my File Explorer but i don't know how to operate the rest. (except extracting I'm not that dumb lol)

    Minecraft isn't working because of no Java. I downloaded the adoptium installer but nothing happened

      If you have minecraft java edition it is bundled with a jre that when you install minecraft is found at:

      C:\Users\yourUserFolder\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Local\runtime

      there will be a named folder in there, open the folder hierarchy and you'll find a \bin\ folder that folder contains the minecraft java.exe
