It was true until Minecraft 1.17, now it requires at least Java 17

And Microsoft ended up providing their own compiled version of OpenJDK to get around the non-commercial use part of the licence to do it.

Only reason I still have Java 8 is because Pixelmon is stuck at 1.16.5

Pixelmon has been on 1.20.1+ for quite some time now.. currently it’s on 1.21.1.

That's just the beta, bunch of stuff broken there. The stable version where everything works is still 1.16.5

At least on curseforge the most recent 1.21.1 patch got marked as stable, not sure why on the pixelmon website it is still marked as a beta.

Unless you play modded 1.7.10, which has a mod (LWJGL3ify) that has had some sort of ungodly work done to allow it to run with modern java versions.

GregTech: New Horizons is a modpack that famously uses it (and I can confirm the modpack runs better than it has any right to do)
