I've done quite a bit of searching and I've tried a few solutions and have gotten nowhere.
In order to get around a bug with Immersive Engineering and Java 1.8.0_25, I need to upgrade the Java version for Minecraft. The trouble is there are no clear tutorials or information on how to do this.
So, I uninstalled Minecraft, restarted the computer, and reinstalled Minecraft but, it still uses 1.8.0_25.
I've looked all around at the options in the Launcher and there is nothing there to allow me to manually change it.
I've also tried deleting all the contents of the corresponding Java Runtime folder and replacing it with the contents of the _74 folder. But, the Launcher crashes everytime.
So, I'm stuck. I'm out of ideas.
Could somebody help me out and point me in the right direction?
Read down in the comments below and you'll see some steps that you could take.
I followed the steps and so far have successfully launched the game.
But, I still have a question.
Programs(x86) folder was not the folder that I told the launcher to look for the Java executable. I had it look in the Programs file. I'm not sure I understand why. The launcher is set to look into the Programs(x86) by default.
Hello Everyone,

The best I got at the "official website" is that Minecraft uses 1.8.0_74 by default. https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Update_Java
