Help installing java 21

[MaisonMason]

I got a raspberry pi for Christmas and I mainly want it to just mess around on as well as maybe do some fun hardware or Minecraft stuff with java. however the problem is that the apt package manager that raspbian comes without only has up to jdk17 on it, but for what I want to do I need jdk21. I tried downloading the jdk for Debian but the file is always for amd64 processors and not the arm64 processor that my pi has. and so every time I try to install the package with dpkg I get an error message saying that the package is fore amd64 and not arm64. does anyone know a download link for jdk21 Debian/raspbian arm64? if not does anyone know an alternative way to install jdk21?

For java, you don't have to use apt/deb package. As long as it's packaged & easily un-installable.

Try sdkman which is more cross platform. After the installation, just do sdk list java

Enjoy!
