Since those iGPUs are not officially supported on Windows 10, with them the game is likely going to crash with any modern java binary.įor 1.16.5 or older there's a workaround, you need to install an older java binary (note: these links are official MultiMC links, and we can't guarantee the safety of the content on them):Īfter you download the required java binary for your architecture, extract the zip, and move the folder to your Prism Launcher data folder (%appdata%/Prism Launcher for non-portable, the Prism Launcher folder for portable builds), you need to go to the Prism Launcher java settings, then to browse, then go to the folder with this particular java, click java.exe then open.

For this reason, using Java 8u312 or lower is recommended Using Java # Old versions of Forge crash with Java 8u321+. Special cases # Forge 1.16.5 and Java 8u321+ # The Prism Launcher NixOS package already bundles java. The Prism Launcher flatpak already bundles java. Java 8 is not available from Debian repos for unknown reasons, but you can get a deb from Azul Flatpak # On the COPR package all required java versions should be installed, but this is the command to install it: sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk java-17-openjdk Void Linux # sudo xbps-install openjdk17-jre openjdk8-jre Arch Linux # sudo pacman -S jre17-openjdk jre8-openjdk Ubuntu # sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre openjdk-8-jre Debian # sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre On Linux, it's recommended to use your package manager for installing Java.

Also, to download Oracle Java 9+ you need an Oracle account which is not a good thing. You can also use Oracle Java, but openjdk is better here. Azul Zulu is a popular alternative to Temurin, and will work just as well. NOTE: You can use any OpenJDK build you want. If you aren't sure which version you will need, it is recommended to just install both.

Minecraft 1.17 and upwards will require Temurin 17 (LTS), while anything below will require Temurin 8 (LTS). As such, until Java downloading is implemented, you will need to manually install Java to run Minecraft with Prism Launcher.Ĭurrently, we recommend heading over to Adoptium to install the latest versions of Java.
