Multiple Java Installations

Multiple Java Installations

If you manage multiple modpacks and they require different Java versions to run, then you can make use of ServerPackCreators feature to use store paths to your Java installations. Changing the Miencraft version for your server pack will then update the path to the Java installation in the Advanced-Section to reflect the required Java install.

Note: This path will not be present in the variables.txt in the ZIP-archive of your server pack, because the archived copy is written without it on purpose. Two settings break that, and both for the same reason -- the variables.txt that gets archived is then the one already sitting in the server pack rather than a freshly written one: Server Pack Overwrites disabled, and Update Server Packs enabled, which protects variables.txt from being rewritten at all. In either case check the archive before sharing it.

  1. Add the paths to your Java executables with their corresponding Java version:

java-settings
  1. Update your server packs Minecraft version:

java-required

  1. Check the Advanced-section and notice the updated Java path:

java-updated
