Cant load 1.17.1

[ghost]

when I try to load 1.17 it brings up an error message and said failed and when I tried to load 1.16 it worked fine

I'm getting an error with 1.17.1 as well. Its saying that Minecraft and Java version are not compatible .

Download the .jar, open a cmd in the folder you downloaded the .jar to, and put java -jar amidstjarname.jar and it should work.

I'm also having this issue. Sorry if I'm not sure, but what .jar file do I need to download?

Here's how I got Amidst 4-7.exe to run and work with Minecraft 1.17 and 1.17.1 First off I installed the Java 16 JDK. This doesn't affect the Java 8 installation. The Java 16 javaw.exe resides in c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16.0.2\bin (that's the default install location) Note that my Amidst files are in an Amidst folder in the .minecraft folder.

I created a .bat file and placed it in .minecraft\Amidst (Later I created a shortcut to this batch file on my desktop)

Here's the contents of Start Amidst.bat:

cd c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16.0.2\bin javaw.exe -jar %AppData% \.minecraft\Amidst\amidst-v4-7.exe exit

Nope. Same error.

There's a mistake in your script, it should be "%AppData%.minecraft\Amidst\amidst-v4-7.exe" -- you missed a backslash after %AppData%. Mine works after adding it.

Thanks for the heads up. The missing \ is an artifact of the page source. The \ existed in my post. I had to add a second \ to get it to show. The \ exists in my .bat file.
