Mydad was playing minecraft and advised him to get optifine so i did that. When i went to try opening it nothing happened and showed no java logo like its just an unknown file extension. (the file was a .jar). then i checked java in the search bar and java didnt show up. i then downloaded java then after that it was installed and i was able to install optifine. im so confused
You can use the built-in runtime to run other Java programs, possibly anything (I'm not sure if it is a complete installation or just has what Minecraft needs):
-installing-forge-without-installing-java/
You can also make a batch file which includes the path to the runtime; for example (replace "amidst-v4-2.jar" with the name of the Optifine/Forge installer and paste into a text file and save it with the extension ".bat". Other (non-Windows) OSes have their own batch file formats):
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x32\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx1G -jar amidst-v4-2.jar
pause
NOTE: The path will be different for a 64 bit OS ("Program Files (x86)" and "jre-x64") and if you have Minecraft installed to a different location (not the .minecraft folder, but where the launcher itself is installed to if you use the default install location). Also, the "pause" at the end keeps the window open so any errors can be seen (otherwise, it will close before you have a chance to see anything; this also goes for running it normally by double-clicking).
Otherwise, there really is no reason to have to download a standalone system JRE these days; I only have a JDK installed for mod development (which is still on Java 7 since MCP 1.6.4 compiles for Java 6 by default and I haven't had to use any newer language features, hence I have to use the Minecraft runtime to run programs that require Java 8, like AMIDST).
Also, Forge has an executable installer for Windows, which should be able to run like any normal program (IMO, no major mod developer should be relying on a Java-based installer these days; Java 8, the version recommended for Minecraft and required to run many mods due to Forge having issues with newer versions, is itself so old it may soon no longer be publicly available, and Oracle recommends providing your own runtime).
TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
I originally had to use forge with the Windows Installer for 1.12.2 Works great, really. Then I go to download 1.14.3 and there is no windows installer. Nor for anything under 1.14.3 and above 1.12.2. SO i try my luck with the regular installer, I think everything is going great, I've already got java and have had the updated Java 8 the whole time. Then I go to open forge 1.14.3 and the same text box pops up every time. I have uninstalled Forge and Java on several occasions, used different browsers and nothing works. The text box pop up says as follows:
"Java installation Not Completed. Unable to install Java. There are errors in the following switches: "C:\Users\Otter\Desktop\forge-1.14.3-27.0.51-installer.jar";. Check that the commands are valid and try again."
I am not sure if this is a fault of my own, of Java's, or of Forge itself but I would love some light to be shined on this issue. Should I wait till the windows installer comes out or do I have to fix something with the installer, my computer, or Java. Thank you.
Curse/Overwolf: If you are using the Curse Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Curse's installation of the Minecraft launcher as long as it is not launched THROUGH Twitch:
When you have an issue with your mod the most helpful thing you can do when asking for help is to provide your code to those helping you. The most convenient way to do this is via GitHub or another source control hub.
When setting up a GitHub Repo it might seem easy to just upload everything, however this method has the potential for mistakes that could lead to trouble later on, it is recommended to use a Git client or to get comfortable with the Git command line. The following instructions will use the Git Command Line and as such they assume you already have it installed and that you have created a repository.
Ok so you know the user creates a fake product and creates bot accounts to say that he's not lying? this isn't the case, or at least i dont think so. I ran the file, and so far I haven't seen anything wrong with my PC. So, he's most likely not lying, just for comfirmation.
Thank you for bumping a year and a half old thread to vouch for one of my moderators who has thousands of posts on this forum and was recommending a tool that is widely known/used in the community to fix jar file associations...
This tutorial takes you through the steps of setting up your own Java Edition server using the default server software that Mojang Studios distributes free of charge. The software may be installed on most operating systems, including Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux and BSD.
Java is a programming language designed to create programs for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The JVM supports many different platforms. By doing this, developers write code for the JVM and any platform supported by the JVM can run the program. Further reading.(Remote shell port)
OpenJDK and OracleJDK are very similar. OpenJDK is the official open source reference implementation of Java. OpenJDK is an open source codebase that almost all other JDKs are built on. Excluding packaging, cosmetic and license differences OpenJDK is the same as OracleJDK.
Do note that OracleJDK (Oracle's "OTN") builds require a paid subscription for commercial and production purposes. This likely includes running a Minecraft server even if it is non-profit. Oracle does provide its own OpenJDK builds, but they are not packed into an installer format for easy use.
A headless Java installation is a trimmed down version of Java. It does not have a GUI or mouse/keyboard support. Headless Java is frequently used in Servers or other environments where a GUI is not needed.
The general gist of running a Minecraft server is that you will need to install java, run the server, accept the EULA, and run it again. Once you have installed java and opened up a command line, everything is basically the same.
At this point you should have a basic server running. See Configuring the environment for more information about configuring your server. One of the things you definitely want to do is writing a script to launch the server so you don't have to remember the command line.
To sum up, a reasonable flag combination can be as simple as -Xmx4G -Xms1G -XX:SoftMaxHeapSize=3G -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseZGC. That is it. There are bits that you can squeeze from complicated flags, but you would get much more from modified server software. In fact, all serious discussions (e.g. Aikar and brucethemoose) of server performance assume some degree of modding.
Options for the server JAR go after the -jar minecraft_server.jar part. Run with --help to see all available arguments that can be passed to the server. Below is a list of available commandline options for the server.
The Minecraft server requires the Java Runtime Environment (also called JRE or simply Java). For your security, you should only use the most recent version of Java. To verify that you have the latest version, do one of the following:
Linux comes in many different varieties called distributions (distros). Some of these distros are designed or better suited for running a server. If you are setting up a dedicated server it is recommended to use one of these distros.
Note: You might need to install the package "software-properties-common" by running sudo apt-get install software-properties-common and/or "python-software-properties" by running sudo apt-get install python-software-properties to use the apt-add-repository command.
Alternatively, you can visit Java's website directly to download the Java package for Linux. Most distros work with this (either 32 or 64-bit). Instructions for the installation of those different packages are given on the site.
Before installing this JRE, you have to install the linux binary compatibility on FreeBSD, you can follow this documentation.
Jave requires some information about the proc. You have to mount linprocfs, type:
Create a folder and copy the Minecraft server jar in it.
In the actual version you will get this exception syscall epoll_create not implemented if you run the server in the usual way, so we add this line to the command to fix that -Djava.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider=sun.nio.ch.PollSelectorProvider.
The command to launch is like:
Place Holders have been used in this example shell script including PATH_TO_YOUR_JRE.deb and PATH_TO_SERVER_JAR.jar replace them with /INSERTACCOUNTREGISTERNAME/.../INSERTJRENAME.deb and /INSERTACCOUNTREGISTERNAME/.../INSERTJARNAME.jar
Hostman is an application hosting provider to host apps in the cloud. Minecraft is available as a one-click app package on Hostman. Installation takes about 2 minutes, there's an instruction on how to configure the server and start playing. You can have multiple Minecraft services on one server. Try a free demo here.
Cloudron is a platform to self-host apps on your server. Minecraft is available as a one click app on Cloudron. It comes with a web interface to manage Minecraft from the browser. You can also have multiple installations of Minecraft on the same server. You can try a demo here (username: cloudron password: cloudron)
Docker is a free container based platform which helps to isolate instances of a Minecraft Server from each-other and from the host system. Docker and the owner of the repository of the container are not affiliated with Mojang.
