Have been running my small papermc server for forever with no problem. Just download the latest jar, update the batch file to point to the new version and go
Updated today and now getting this error :

Unsupported Java detected (62.0). Only up to Java 15 is supported

I haven't made any java changes, how could a newer papermc.jar have a problem with an existing /older JDK that was working before??

It seems to me like you aren't running the latest PaperMC version, since the latest PaperMC version works with Java 17 or higher. Maybe check if you made the right changes to your batch file?

Thank you so much for replying!
That fixed it.

I have no idea how this could've happened.
Usually I just rename the version to papermc.jar

I must've somehow renamed an older version

I was installing and re-installing versions of java for days trying to get t work..
So frustrated and had no idea why it wasn't working..

You're the only one to weigh in, I appreciate the help So much! Thank you.
