MineOS Minecraft 1.18 openJDK17

[jfischer]

For running minecraft 1.18 I've read you need openjdk17. Now I'm running MineOS 12.2-RELEASE-p11 with openjdk16.
Does anyone know how to update to jdk17? Or is it not available right now?

pkg install openjdk17 inside the jail just worked. My son and his friends are gaming away for a week or so, now. We started with the "pre" releases of MC 1.18.

Works like a charm! Many Thanks!

This doesn't fix it for me. 1.18 and 1.18.1 servers won't start.

@DawnTreader - make sure your server.config file has something like this in it. This was the missing step for me when trying to upgrade to java16 in order to use Minecraft 1.17.

java_binary=/usr/local/openjdk17/bin/java

Can I put that in a GUI web page somewhere? or do I manually edit the file?

Edit: because of my setup i was actually able to do this with notepad and get it working! Putting that line in worked!

Excellent, glad it worked. I don't know if this field has been added to a GUI page anywhere.

I gotta highjack to thank you! I've been trying to get a 1.16.5 forge server going for 2 days now and nothing seemed to be working. I had a spigot server in 1.18 up, but could not figure out how to get forge to use the right java version. This line in server.config did it! Thank you so much!
