[DUPLICATE] Java Runtime Incompatible Error when launching 1.16.5 with Java 11
Issue
Cannot launch 1.16.5 using Java OpenJDK 11
Error message
Your Java Runtime is incompatible. Please edit your installation to use the bundled Java Runtime. Name: Java version mismatch URL: http://aka.ms/jnierror
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new installation
- Select Release 1.16.5
- Manually set the JVM executable to the Java 11 binary, eg.
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk/bin/java
- Run the client, it crashes with the above error
Unaffected Launcher versions
Any versions prior to the release of Minecraft 1.17 might work
Suspected cause
I suspect it has to do with the java 16 check, to prevent client crashes with out-of-date JVM on 1.17, but it might force java 16 for any manually selected JVM on any client version.
Result
Unable to play minecraft with versions that depend on a specific JVM. Modded 1.16.5 (Cyan + Forge) wont run. (Cyan depends on Java 11 because Forge does not handle newer JVMs well)
