Version of Prism Launcher

Prism Launcher 8.3

Version of Qt

Qt 6.7.0

Description of bug

This isn't necessarily a bug, but I've brought this up in the package's comments and in the Prism Launcher discord and gotten no response in either place. The prismlauncher aur package still requires Java 17, meaning I am forced to keep it installed even though I do not play any Minecraft version that uses it.

Steps to reproduce

1. install prismlauncher from the aur using your preferred aur helper

2. it asks you to install java 17

Suspected cause

The maintainers forgot to change it

Java 17 is still needed for a good part of the Minecraft versions. Java 21 is only supported by the latest version of Minecraft so it may not be a high priority to change that yet.

Java 17 can be made an optional dependency, just as Java 8 is. I understand your point though.
