Java version mismatch is a common cause of Minecraft server startup failures

Just a quick reminder for newer server owners.

A huge number of server startup crashes are caused by using the wrong Java version.

Basic rule:

- MC 1.18+ → Java 17

- MC 1.16–1.17 → Java 11

- Older versions → Java 8

Before changing plugins or configs, always check your Java version first.
