i have minecraft version 1.16.4 on my pc. OS is windows 10. today I wanted to get new major update. when i run the launcher i got the error that said "minecraft does not detect java". so i uninstalled minecraft and java. i installed them again. but now after update i get this java error:

   [E] Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
   [E] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: 
   net/minecraft/client/main/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java 
   Runtime (class file version 60.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class 
   file versions up to 52.0

what should i do to fix this? (if any further information is needed please comment so i add them to my question)

minecraft launcher is ExtremeLauncher 3.9.5.0. i have javaRE 8.291 and javaDK 16 installed on my pc.

For anyone that may face this problem, you should change java address in your launcher to something like this: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16\bin\javaw.exe

Browse your pc for the right address before changing.

    Another option (for those who can't change the Java location from the launcher) is to add Java to your PATH environment variable.

    On MultiMC in macOS, I had to install JDK 16 (as per this page) and then set my instance to use /System/Volumes/Data/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-16.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java as the Java binary under the instance's settings.

Uninstall or disable (under control panel-java) JRE, then install JDK again
