minecraft server but not minecraft directly is because minecraft directly right minecraft vanilla has the version of java kind of built into it and packaged to go with it but a minecraft server a

safe to do so now to minimize our browser here in our browser we have the java jdk I’ve also got a vanilla server here that i want to show you what happens when i try to open it without this this currently isn’t installed we go ahead and open up this server and we double click on the run.bat file here we will Be able to see that we’re going to get a jni error so you can see a jni here has occurred please check your installation and try again right it’s basically saying we don’t have the correct version of java specifically we don’t have the java development kit that minecraft is Looking for right so we can go ahead and close out of that and i’ll show you here in a second that that’ll work after we install java if jdk here that you download the java you download isn’t on your desktop it’s going to be in your downloads folder to find that click the Little windows it comes in the top left of my screen probably in the bottom of your screen click on that little icon the top or

install it it’s that simple there’s no reason to over complicate this it’s a very very simple Program to install but you need to know which one to install because if you just like google java download it’s not going to work right you need this specific version the java development kit 16 right so here we go as you can see it’s successfully installed go ahead and close you actually Shouldn’t have to restart your computer for this but you may have to if you do install this and you’re still having issues restart your computer that’ll probably fix it but in this case we’re not going to need to we can actually delete java jdk there from our desktop If you do get this warning yes it’s fine to permanently delete it now let’s go ahead and open up that vanilla server again click on that run.bat file again and this time we won’t get any errors we will get a server that is starting right on up without any issues That’s it that’s how you can download and install java as you can see server is starting and i will show you that it is done here in a moment showing it truly has started sorry for the jump cut there uh my computer likes to lag whenever it’s starting minecraft worlds And uh yeah

you can get java however you may still have some issues with Things like the vanilla servers for example like this or with minecraft mods right specifically things like optifine things like forge installing those you may have issues and if that’s the case that’s where the jar fix comes in and basically what the jar fix is going to Do is re-link the jar files on your computer to java so if we go here you just download the jar fix and then go through basically the tutorial you can see it downloads in the bottom left now one thing about the jar fix is that it may require you to download another Version of java that’s okay as you can see the jar dropper suffix has been registered successfully there you go and you’re good to go right now one of the things it might ask you to download another version of java if it does that most likely you don’t need to run the Jar fix that’s not your problem try to move on without it and then you’ll be good to go there was a time there where it hadn’t been updated to java 16 but now it has been and it would do that more commonly but i still see that sometimes in Comments we get thousands of comments a day i try to read them all and that is one thing i do see occasionally the jar fix is asking people to download another version it might be asking you to download java 8 and if it is go do that Go download java 8 but most of the time you
