Where can I download Java 8?
I am trying to download java 64 bit but whenever I download it still says 32 bit is installed and there is only one version of Java downloaded. how do I fix this?
64 bit engine won't install java 17, only java 8
Installing Java from this link ensures you get 64bit version
I want to use forge for 1.16.5 since the mods I really want are only on that version, and I can just mod in 1.17 stuff. I'm on a new laptop, and it didn't have any Java stuff installed. I installed the latest version of Java fine, but it turns out it was the wrong one for what I needed and only works with Forge 1.17.1 and 1.17.1 JAR files.
I found the link to get the Java SE Development Kit 8 Download, but this time it's asking me to log in to do it. Alright, sure, not that big a deal, I'll make an account.
The problem is, to make an Oracle account I apparently need to give them my work information?! Never mind that I'm a stay-at-home spouse so I couldn't even if I wanted to. I'm certainly not giving them my personal home info. Here's the create an account page so you can see exactly what I mean. It's all required info to create an account.
Is there a way to create an account without all this nonsense? Or possibly somewhere else I can download Java 8?
EDIT: Bonus question--of all the available mods for backporting 1.17 stuff, are there any specific ones y'all would recommend? I've found, like, five.
