## Automatically installing Java (recommended)

In PrismLauncher 9.0+, you can simply let the launcher handle Java automatically on Windows, macOS and Linux (not available in all packages) by ticking "Autodetect Java version" and "Auto-download Mojang Java" in:
In Prism Launcher 9.0+, you can let the launcher handle Java automatically on Windows, macOS and Linux (not available in all packages) by enabling "Autodetect Java version" and "Auto-download Mojang Java" in:

> Prism's main screen > Settings (top toolbar) > Java
This will make Prism automatically download the right Java version depending on your Minecraft version (Java 8 for pre-1.17, Java 17 for 1.17-1.20.4, and Java 21 for 1.20.5+). The rest of this page is going to explain downloading Java manually, and is probably not needed for you.
This will make the launcher automatically download the right version of Java for your version of Minecraft (Java 8 for pre-1.17, Java 17 for 1.17-1.20.4, etc.). The rest of this page is going to explain downloading Java manually, and is probably not needed for you.

If the Java downloader is not available for you - which is the case on most Linux packages apart from the official Flatpak and AppImage downloads - manual installation is recommended instead.

Since those iGPUs are not *officially* supported on Windows 10, with them the game is likely going to crash with any modern java binary.

*For 1.16.5 or older* there's a workaround, you need to install an older Java binary. To do that, you should be able to simply use Mojang Java 8u51, see [above](https://prismlauncher.org/wiki/getting-started/installing-java/#automatically-installing-java-(recommended)). This should fix your issue.

Unfortunately there's no workaround for Java 17 (and so newer Minecraft), so you can only downgrade your Windows or switch to Linux there.
If you want to try, [there's this guide that could work](https://gist.github.com/rb-dahlb/26f316c5b6089807a139fc44ee69f0d1). Nothing is guaranteed here, though.
