Different Minecraft versions have different requirements of minimum Java version.Installing the latest Java update ensures that Minecraft continues to run safely and efficiently. The latest versions of Java contain important enhancements to help improve performance, stability and security of the Java applications that run on your machine. If you use a custom JVM, you should notice that the official launcher only allow the custom JVM with the same primary Java version as the minimum required Java version to launch the game.
