=== ~~Prismlauncher doesn~~'t ~~have Java Version XX.~~ ===

=== ATlauncher can't start instance ===

~~The Prismlauncher package can be overridden with~~ <code>~~(pkgs.prismlauncher.override { jdks = [ pkgs~~.<~~JAVA_PACKAGE~~> ~~]; })~~</code>~~. For example:~~ <code>~~(pkgs~~.~~prismlauncher~~.~~override { jdks~~ = [ ~~pkgs~~.~~temurin-bin-21 pkgs~~.~~temurin-bin-8 pkgs.temurin-bin-17 ]; })</code>~~

By default, ATlauncher installs its own Java runtime in <code>**USERSDIR**/runtimes/minecraft</code>, which gets selected in the settings' <code>Java Path</code>.

To fix this, make sure to select the java version installed in the system store from the <code>Settings > Java/Minecraft > Java Path</code> menu and also disable the <code>Use Java Provided By Minecraft?</code> option.

If your instance still doesn't start, check the instance settings and apply the same changes there.

=== Prism Launcher doesn't have Java Version XX. ===

The [[Prism Launcher]] package can be overridden to add additional [[Java]] runtimes. Check [[Prism_Launcher#Advanced]] to see an example.

=== Minecraft can’t start without Java Version XX. ===

It is possible that you are attempting to start a version of Minecraft that is 1.19 or higher. Unfortunately, this is broken on NixOS. It is strongly recommended to use alternative launchers.
