Latest Zoomify Release requiring Java 21 on 1.20.1, where the java version is 17

[EnderBoy9217]

1.20.1 only supports Java 17, so it is impossible to launch the game

[Fyoncle]

Same issue

[JadeJuno]

Can confirm issue happens in 1.20.4 as well.

[Dekamir]

Same here. Probably the JAR file was built against Java 21 globally.

[ShimajiroOTS]

I confirmed this as well.
Java 21 will not start with 1.18-1.20.4.
As a temporary workaround, those using 1.18-1.20.4 can resolve the issue by downgrading the version of this mod to 2.14.2.
Those using 1.20.5 or above use Java 21, so it should start without any problems.

Also, there seems to be no changelog, so I don't know the difference between 2.14.2 and 2.14.4.

i'm using Prism, and it appears to work if you turn on "Skip Java compatibility checks"

but it would be great to not have to turn this setting on

Unzip the mod file and open the fabric.mod.json file inside.
Replace
“depends”: {
“fabric-api”: “”,
“fabricloader”: “\u003e\u003d0.14.22”,
“fabric-language-kotlin”: “==1.11.0+kotlin.2.0.0”,
“minecraft”: “==1.20 <=1.20.1”,
“java”: “\u003e\u003d21”,
“yet_another_config_lib_v3”: “\u003e\u003d3.5.0”
For
“depends”: {
“fabric-api”: “”,
“fabricloader”: “>=0.14.22”,
“fabric-language-kotlin”: “>=1.11.0+kotlin.2.0.0”,
“minecraft”: “>=1.20 <=1.20.1”,
“java”: “>=17”,
“yet_another_config_lib_v3”: “>=3.5.0”
Save and re-compress, and will run on a Java 17 environment.

This will be modifying the mod and its not suitable for modpacks! You can always use fabric_overrides config file that you create yourself instead of doing such destructive thing and mostly taking away developer's downloads for no reason

It's much easier to just downgrade Zoomify.

It's much easier to just downgrade Zoomify.

That too, since changelog not existing who cares about the update.
