Before running the Minecraft Java Edition server, it is necessary to install the right Java Runtime Environment (JRE). If you are unsure about which Java version to use, take a look at the following table:
| JRE Version | Minecraft Version |
|---|---|
| Java8 | 1.7.x，1.8.x，1.9.x，1.10.x，1.12.x，1.13.x，1.15.x，1.16.x |
| Java16 & Java17 | 1.17.x |
| Java17 | 1.18.x |
| Java17 or above | 1.18.x & 1.19.x & 1.20.x |
:::tip Avoid using JRE version 20 as it may cause errors.
Some plugins have their own Java requriements. If you are unsure, check with the plugin developer for supported JRE version(s). :::
JRE 16 and above only support x86_64/amd64 systems.
:::tip
Please ensure that you have installed the correct version of JRE. You can check it by using the command java -version.
