Here's the error log

=====================================

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

 

* What went wrong:

> Unable to find a javac compiler;

com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.

Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.

It is currently set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101"

 

* Try:

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

 

BUILD FAILED

=====================================

 

I've tried resetting the JAVA_HOME through

C:>set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre"

and even fiddled with environment variables for a while, and nothing helps.

Setting it through command (from jre to jdk) does nothing, it stays on "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101" and the enviroment variable work just said "Java_Home" not set.

 

Please help me fix the issue, JDK 8 and Minecraft 1.11

Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.

C:>set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre"

Of course I've used the actual path "/jdk1.8.smth", and, yeah, I should have provided some more accurate info.

You might have to reboot after you change the enviornment variable.

 

Thank you, I'll just try that

Update :

I've changed the variable and rebooted, and I still get this

Did you add the java jdk to your PATH variable?

if you dont know try opening cmd and type "javac -version"
