Extra details

from #4505 it already mentioned that the new upcoming releases will be needing newer versions of java. the installation of PaperMC includes the 1.21 version needing java 21, while dietpi installs the latest stable debian version (17) as mentioned here: curl -sSfL https://papermc.io/api/v2/projects/paper/versions/1.21/builds/81/downloads/paper-1.21-81.jar -o paper-1.21-81.jar

The Options could be

• include a way to install different java versions from oracle (temporarely from the tar.gz releases),
• downgrade PaperMC to the latest java 17-compatible version, which would be 1.16.5

Thanks for the hint. I have no time to take care of support for different Java versions, and also would not do it for a single software title only. For now, easier is to install the lastest compatible version of PaperMC. Paper v1.17 requires Java 17, which is supported on Bullseye and Bookworm already.

Paper v1.20.y still supports Java 17, right? I mix up Paper versions and Minecraft versions 😄. EDIT: https://docs.papermc.io/paper/getting-started Okay, indeed v1.16.y is needed, v1.17.y requires Java 21 already.
