Warning: This starts an instant download!

• 💙 Microsoft Windows (Most PCs)

💜 Installing Temurin

Open your .msi file from the link above. It will open a menu somewhat like the one on screen right now.

Click the Next button to proceed.

On the next page, you will see this. If you click on the JRE with Hotspot text, you can see the location as highlighted in yellow below.

The file path should always default to C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jre-8.0.372.7-hotspot\

For MacOS users, it's /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-8.jre/Contents/Home/bin/java instead.

Now, press Next and click Install. Temurin will now install itself!

What to do if it's a different path.

You want to save the path. You can take a screenshot using Win + Shift + S. Just drag a square over it. It will copy the image to your clipboard and give a notification which you can click to open a window with your saved image.

🧩 Adding to Minecraft Launcher

Open your Minecraft Launcher and click Installations on the top.

Edit the instance you use ChatTriggers on, this will let you modify it's settings.

In these settings, expand the More Options button so that it's text turns into Less Options.

Now, edit the Java Executable field to say C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jre-8.0.372.7-hotspot\bin\javaw.exe.

For MacOS users, use /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-8.jre/Contents/Home/bin/java instead. Or if you're quirky and used another file path, you should type that one in.

Run the game & see if it works. If it doesn't, double check your file path or try reinstalling Temurin.

🎉 You installed Temurin for Minecraft, yay!

🌈 Adding to Prism Launcher

This part of the guide will use Prism Launcher for the example as it's the most optimised MultiMC fork.

Click your instance you would like to edit and press the Edit button on the Instance's pane.

From here, in the new popup navigate to Settings and enable your "Java Location" setting.

Now, edit the text field to say C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jre-8.0.372.7-hotspot\bin\javaw.exe.

For MacOS users, use /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-8.jre/Contents/Home/bin/java instead. Or if you're quirky and used another file path, you should type that one in.

Click Test to test if it works, if it doesn't double check your file path or try reinstalling Temurin.

🎉 You installed Temurin for Minecraft, yay!
