What does this mean

[harsh forum]

i wanted to play but even though i have the latest version of java, it just closes what do i need to do?

you need to make the game run with java 8u51 because you have intel graphics.

alternatively, you could force java to accelerate your graphics card instead of intel igpu

it seems i have java 8 update 371 is that a later version or an outadated one?

8u51 is an older version of java, which you need for this particular intel GPU

You can get it from here (64-bit), unpack the zip and point the launcher to java.exe from the unpacked archive

[minor marten]

you didnt point the launcher to the 8u51 java executable

[harsh forum]

oh god how dumb could i be

[minor marten]

if it still shows that error you want to clear out the %appdata%/.betacraft directory (you'll have to point the launcher to the java executable again)
