They're almost the same...both come from Oracle and they share mostly the same code.
In Linux you're probably best off with the OpenJDK that comes from your distro.
I'm not sure I buy that. I have been running a minecraft server for a few years under Ubuntu and have never had any issues installing and using Oracle/Sun java on it. To the point where I actually run 3 instances of mod packs on this server at the same time and have never had an issue where one instance impacts the performance of another.
Wrong. Java 1.8.0_25 definitely works, as does 1.8.0_60. The Curse Launcher proves this as it uses the Mojang launcher that automatically launches the runtime Java 1.8.0_25. This is the "official" version of Java supported by Mojang, btw.
I was saying you were wrong about 1.8 not working. Saying a 1.7 version doesn't work is nonsensical since that's what we all were using before 1.8 was released.
@Crays I don't know about you but on my server the modular power suit has tons of issues. It crashes a lot. I'm not sure why... I'm running the latest dw20 pack.
question... on the server I play the admin setup a trade station from forestry. I try to send letters and it says there's no mailbox to deliver to but there is... I don't know what's going on
