How do I properly install Java to use mods and shaders?

-

Hey everyone! I’m eager to dive into playing with mods and shaders in Minecraft, but I’ve hit a snag. I’ve learned that I need Java for .jar files to work, which is where I’m stuck. When I try to download Java from the Oracle link, my Microsoft Store opens and warns me that it’s not a verified app. Even if I choose ‘install anyway’, it just doesn’t seem to work. I really need some tips on how to install Java correctly so I can get everything running. Thanks in advance for your help! (By the way, I apologize for any language mistakes, I’m trying my best.)

You should try downloading the x64 installer from Oracle’s official site. It should work well for Windows 10/11. If that doesn’t do the trick, let me know and we can troubleshoot further! 😊

Thanks for the tip! I actually used that link, but it’s still showing the Microsoft Store message. Even after restarting my laptop, it doesn’t change. I appreciate your help, though!
