Installing multiple Java versions in parallel is incredibly easy in Windows. You can download and run the installer for each version, which automatically installs the versions in separate directories.
The following two environment variables decide which Java version an application uses: 1. JAVA_HOME– many start scripts use this variable. 2. Path – is used when running a Java binary (such as java and javac) from the console. These variables should always point to the same Java installation to avoid inconsistencies. Some programs, such as Eclipse,...
To change the Java version on the command line, I have prepared some batch files that you can copy to your system. Here is the link: scripts-up-to-java23.zip The ZIP file contains scripts named 1. java22.bat, java21.bat, java20.bat, etc., for all Java versions, 2. the corresponding files java20.ps1, java19.ps1, etc. for PowerShell, 3. plus two comm...
To be able to call the scripts from anywhere, you have to add the directory to the "Path" environment variable (just like you did with "%JAVA_HOME%\bin" in the second step): If you have installed the latest releases of all Java versions, you can use the scripts without any further adjustments. Open a new command line or PowerShell and enter, for in...
The commands presented up to this point only affect the currently opened command line or PowerShell. As soon as you open another command line, the default version defined in step 2 is active again (Java 22, if you have not changed anything). If you want to change the Java version permanently, just add the parameter "perm" to the corresponding comma...
I hope you were able to follow the instructions well and that the commands work for you. Now I would like to hear from you: Were you able to follow the steps well – or do you have unanswered questions? Either way, let me know by leaving a comment below.
Step 1. Open the launcher and click “Installations”. Step 2. Find the profile you want to change, click the three dots (…) and click “Edit”. Step 3. Click “More Options” at the bottom of the page. Step 4. Click “Browse” next to the “Java Executable” field. Step 5. Windows.

- Java. 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.
- Common instructions. 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.
- Windows instructions. Installing Java. 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.
Install older JDKs as necessary, like 5u18 in c:\install\jdk\sun\5u18, but don't install the public JREs. When in development, I have a little batch file that I use to setup a command prompt for each JDK version. Essentially just set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk\sun\JDK_DESIRED and then set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%.
Yes, replace the "java" in the server.bat to the location of the java executable (it is in C:\Program Files\Java, e.g. "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_311\bin\java.exe"). Remember the quotes, that is so it goes into the right directory, without them it would try to go into C:\Program which does not exist.
When you install Java, go to your launcher, edit or create an installation, and in the Java Executable box, type C:\Program Files\Java\jvm-[version]\bin\javaw.exe (Windows) or: /usr/lib/jvm/(java version)/bin/java (Linux) or: /usr/bin/java (macOS). The exact value depends on where your java is installed.
