Java 16

Post by whoisallo »

Minecraft 1.17 is just around the corner (June 8th) and will be dropping support of Java 8 in favor of Java 16. How long will it be before we can expect our Managed VDS/Game Servers to update to the latest versions or is this something we will have to request through a support ticket?

We expect to have Java 16 globally in place before then and the appropriate selector in the control panel for it.

The change is odd, since major distributions (including Gentoo) do not support Java 16 yet, even as an "unstable" package. It's not really ready for prime time.

We've rolled out this support now, with Java 16 selectable via the Server Control page.
