Well I got there in the end. By updating java you get more recent valid certificates. That seems to have happened when I updated to the latest '8' version (build 333). So no need to install later versions - just update the current version. I really appreciate your help and time. Maybe this will help other folks too. Paul

I was able to install Forge on a Minecraft 1.18 installation, so am I right in assuming that the requirement to use Java 1.17+ is new to Minecraft 1.19?

I posted the above before seeing your latest. Still I wonder why I'm not updating to the latest version.

I just updated to latest version and I'm now on Version 8 Update 333 (build 1.8.0_333-b02). No mention of 1.17+. What am I missing?

Does Forge require a different version of Java to Minecraft? Minecraft runs fine.

I did mention at the top of the post - it's empty. # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost

Note: my hosts file is empty (ie only commented lines) Thanks for any help!
