Frequently asked
Which Java version does Minecraft 26w14a need?
Java 25 or newer. Mojang publishes this requirement in the version metadata, so an older runtime will refuse to start the server.
Can I run Minecraft 26w14a on Java 21?
No. 26w14a requires Java 25, and Java 21 is older than that. Java 21 still works for Minecraft versions released before the requirement changed.

No server software in our catalogue has published a build for 26w14a yet.
