Forge.exe complains it needs JRE 11.0.1 even though I have it installed.

Open BigCasper opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Forge doesn't launch correctly and opens a window saying "This Application needs Java Runtime Enviroment 11.0.1" and opens the oracle site to download the JDK 21 (for some reason).

I have the JRE 11.0.24 installed (which should be backwards compatible with 11.0.1).

Reproduction: Have the 11.0.24 JRE installed. Run Forge.exe

seems your default Java is set to Java 8 (1.8), try this:

  1. Uninstall all Java Versions
  2. Install Java 17 (or higher)
  3. Run Forge.exe (Desktop UI) / Forge-adventure.exe (Mobile UI)

I don't even have Java 8 installed. I got 11, 17 and 21.

Did you try launching the forge.cmd instead of forge exe?

I'm having this same issue, I have openjdk 23.0.1 2024-10-15 in Windows. It's the only installation I have installed. Running forge.cmd works with this output in cmd:

Forge v.1.6.65 (forge.GuiDesktop@58ea606c)
Windows 11 (10.0 amd64)
Oracle Corporation (Java 23.0.1+11-39, OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM)

This is fixed on 2.0.00 snapshot since java 16 and below support is dropped. Java 17 is the minimum on 2.0.00
