Hi all, Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this question. I am familiar with Java from my university classes, and I wish to use my attained Java skills to create fun things, and I figured that Minecraft modding would be a decent place to start, since I love the game. I'm reading through the documentation of Forge, and I'm unsure if it is recommended to run a specific version of the JDK, or if the latest version would be fine for compiling via IDEA. Thanks!
