I believe this is because we have upgraded to Java 11 in version 0.4.0 & you're using Java 8 at the moment. Can you check if you have Java 8 & if you do, upgrade to 11?

seems to work with AdoptOpenJDK x64 11 which can be handily installed via ninite dot com

Can you expand on how to update Java? I downloaded version 11 (11.0.22) and confirmed it is the version I am using by typing java -version into the cmd, but I am still getting the error when trying to run the bot.

With just that screenshot it's a bit hard to debug. For anyone still running into this issue, can you share the output of running both java -version and java -jar JMusicBot-0.4.0.jar on the command line

Not sure how helpful this is, but here is my output:

Can you navigate to the folder (cd .. to move up a directory, cd directoryname to move into a directory) that contains the jar; that particular error is just saying that the jar isn't in the folder you're running the command from

the issue was because i didnt know i needed Java 11 Lmao - and i dont run it via CMD - but i downloaded Java 11 and it worked so :)

Please keep in mind that the issue we are tracking is a java exception occurring. This happens immediately upon double-clicking the jar in a desktop environment.

I have the same problem. I have java 21 installed and 4.0 jar fails to start.
