Plenty of java software is used by regular users. Minecraft is incredibly popular and one of the few games that (used to) run natively on mac.

And there are multiple people here claiming that they aren’t having any Java issues.

People are all up in arms based on what’s essentially a misinterpretation of the nature and severity of these issues. Something is obviously up, but it’s not as simple as ‘Java no worky’.

Anecdata: I've put in tens of hours into Minecraft on 14.4 without a single client issue.

Now the plot thickens because I have seen users report they specifically cannot get minecraft working. I wonder what might be different between hardware or software config to cause this for them and not for you. Are you using the system java or maybe a different java version you put in another location?

To be fair, I'm using Zulu 17.46.19 because I don't have a system Java (`/usr/bin/java` is just a placeholder that says "you need to install Java").

Just installed OpenJDK 21.0.2 via Homebrew and given it a 10 minute run without any issues.
