Hello everyone, this is JoeAceJR here and I recently discovered that java will not be compatible with many devices because of security issues. When will ftb make a launcher that does not run java?
but minecraft (vanilla) has a launcher that doesnt need java, and not many programs are going to be using java anymore.Minecraft uses Java. Therefore even if the ftb client suddenly won't use java you are still forced to use java to run Minecraft.
Also, Java is a programming language you might need to install something to get programs that use it running unlike something like C (except when you are developing something in C) because of this running something that uses java is not less or more secure then running something that is written with C.
Treat Java stuff like you would treat other stuff (assuming you treat other stuff with some sanity). Don't let your browsers run Java code whenever it want and only run java code that you trust. I believe that chrome doesn't even allow java programs to run on it any more. and I believe that with firefox the default setting needs you to enable it first. For stuff you download, again treat it like any other program.
In short, Java might be unsafe but so is EVERY OTHER THING THAT EXISTS.
Sorry if this looks a bit of a rant or if it doesn't sound exactly nice it isn't meant to hurt anyone just to bring up a point![]()
I was at best buy with java problems.Source for this? And Minecraft runs on java so either way you're out of luck.
Edit: someone beat me to it
can i carry my saves over from java ftb to curse?Try using the Curse Client if you don't want Java permanently loaded on your system... It has all the "official" FtB packs, and links to Mojang's MC launcher for security reasons (Curse never has to know your Mojang password, for one thing).
Also, the Mojang MC Launcher loads it's own secure copy of Java runtime (version 1.8.0_25) to run Minecraft, and then unloads it when you close the game.
Also, I'm curious... What devices don't run Java? The only ones I can think of are those that are locked from loading your own apps. That, and sometimes Apple products won't run the newest versions of Java because Apple![]()
windows 10 and many other devices and programs will move out of java.Java will run on almost any device, be it ARM, x86, or PowerPC. Whether or not it has security holes does not effect whether it'll run.
Fun fact, it still uses java. The only difference is that it now loads the java it got bundled with (which is the same thing as the one you install).but minecraft (vanilla) has a launcher that doesnt need java, and not many programs are going to be using java anymore.
There is no difference, both still use java to run minecraft. Thus yes you should be able to copy saves as there is no difference in the 2 of them (except for the launcher)can i carry my saves over from java ftb to curse?
The java run time environment, which is the thing you need to run java programs is just a program. Nothing is "moving out" of java. The only way windows 10 won't have java anymore is when oracle drops java development and even then there are alternative Java run time environments you can use even on windows like for example: https://github.com/ojdkbuild/ojdkbuild (not tested how well it works on windows.)windows 10 and many other devices and programs will move out of java.

My nephew got a Chromebook for Christmas and was unable to get MC to run properly on it. Granted, I never did any firsthand troubleshooting on it, so it was all his inexperience and a phonecall or twelve, but he finally gave up.
If others have a similar experience, and all the reasoning available from the manufacturer says it is due to security concerns, it leads the inexperienced and uninformed to believe Java as a whole is a security risk. As stated above, breathing is now a security risk - tread lightly.

Seems like the whole FTB scene thrives on drama so it might do some good for all of us.
