 ==== Server (simple method) ====
+**Note:** **Minecraft 1.17** requires Java 16, **Minecraft 1.18** requires Java 17. This is not included in most distributions. You can check your version with ''%%java -version%%''. You can get Java 17 from 3rd parties like [[https://adoptium.net/|Adoptium]] or [[https://www.azul.com/downloads/|Azul Zulu]].
 The new server installation uses a single jar file as a launcher. This launcher first downloads any missing Fabric Loader or Minecraft files, then continues with running the game server. There is no explicit installation and the desired versions as selected on the homepage are already baked into this jar file.
