Updating Java 8

Recently, Mojang changed its authentication system. Players using Java 8 versions older than Update 91 can no longer log in to Minecraft servers, including ours.

To resolve this issue, update Java 8 on your computer.

Step 1: Uninstall your existing Java 8 version. 

Curseforge users may not have an existing Java 8 version installed. If not, skip to Step 2.

Older Java 8 versions lack critical security fixes and must be removed before installing the new version.

1. Open Settings → Apps → Installed Apps.

2. Search for Java 8 in the list.

3. Please select it and press Uninstall.

4. Follow the confirmation prompts until it’s entirely removed.

Step 2: Install the latest version of Java 8.

This guide will show you how to install the Oracle Java. Other Java Binaries do exist from organisations such as Adoptium and Amazon, which can also be used.

1. Go to the official Java download page: Java 8 Manual Downloads
2. Under Windows, choose Java 8 (Offline 64-bit) and download the installer.
3. Once downloaded, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

Following this, you should have the latest Java 8 installed and be able to join our servers.

If you have other versions of Java 8 installed, you may need to uninstall them or select the correct Java version in the relevant launcher settings.
