Can't use runClient: FMLClientLaunchHandler has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime

[Syric]

EDIT: Running 'gradlew runClient' directly in the terminal does not produce this issue, but using IntelliJ's normal Run button does.

 

When I try to use runClient or runServer, I get an error like this. Updating from Java 16 to 18 and restarting intelliJ seemed to fix the issue for runClient, but today I tried runServer again and now neither works anymore.

I'm modding on 1.19 with the latest mdk.

Minecraft 1.19 requires java 17

...specifically? I have Java 18. I assumed 'Requires Java 17' meant '17 and up'.

[Syric]

Oh. That'd do it. I'll go see if I can fix that. Thank you!

I've solved the problem. For anyone else using IntelliJ, I had to go into File > Project Structure > SDKs and add Java 18, then Edit Run Configurations so that my runs used that SDK instead of the old one.
