Dear Lunar Client Team,
I would like to suggest a feature that would allow users to choose their own Java environment for launching the game. Currently, the client uses the built-in Java Runtime Environment located in the internal jre directory, which prevents users from selecting a custom Java installation on their system.
For many advanced users and players who care about performance, stability, or testing different Java distributions, the ability to choose a custom Java runtime would be extremely helpful. Different Java builds such as OpenJDK distributions may provide better performance, debugging tools, or compatibility with certain mods and optimizations. Being able to select a specific Java executable (for example, a custom JDK installation) would give users more control over how the game runs.
A possible implementation could include:
An option in the Lunar Client settings to select a custom Java executable path.
The ability to override the default runtime used by the client.
A fallback option to automatically use the built-in runtime if the custom path is invalid.
Optional support for setting custom Java arguments alongside the selected runtime.
This feature would mainly benefit power users, developers, and players who want to fine-tune performance or experiment with different Java environments while still enjoying the convenience of Lunar Client.
Thank you for your time and for continuously improving the client. I hope this feature can be considered in a future update.
Best regards.
