Hi, I have a PC with an administrator (my father:]) and I have an application (Badlion Client, a client with modifications for Minecraft) and with this application I can play these mods… How to do it. White, Minecraft goes over Java, this client also goes over Java, because this is the case, you have to enter the administrator password every time to start the application. When I asked my father to give me admin he didn't want to do it, he said the application got too many rights and would spy on the passwords etc. I just don't understand it because Badlion Client is a certified program, I think that the application doesn't spy on passwords. Are there arguments for this or is my father right?
I haven't fully read your question yet, but it's Java is a programming language and Minecraft is programmed with it. It is not harmful but mostly even necessary for Minecraft
Java itself is not harmful, just the runtime environment. However, Java programs can be defective
No, Java is not harmful at all. There was a time when Java had a couple of bugs and vulnerabilities, but this is a long history.
He also thinks that Java is not allowed to be installed on company computers and such, but that is something completely different.
I don't know exactly what you mean Java, what you need to run .jar programs is not harmful, but there may be jar files that are harmful. As long as you keep your Java up to date, this shouldn't be a problem
Badlion Client even checks for Java updates etc. But it is not a .jar program, it just uses Java as a programming language like Minecraft
Yes, jar files can also be viruses or other. Admittedly, I've downloaded millions of .jar files and nothing has ever happened.
And no, Java is not harmful. In fact, it should always be installed as it can be important. Incidentally, Java also runs on other devices.
But one should not say either, because certain programs need too many rights, it spies on passwords. Sometimes admin rights are necessary.
What surprises me more, why does a Minecraft client need admin rights?
I guess this is due to Java, which is why the title of the question, Minecraft runs on Java and Java is viewed as security critical by Windows.
Runs on Java and Java is considered security critical by Windows.
That's new to me. A program is not started with admin rights because it is considered critical by Windows, but because the rights are necessary to access folders or files that are protected.
I never needed any admin rights for a client. It is silk, the jar file installs something for me (such as Optifine or Forge)
Not only most of the time, but it is necessary. How should a software based on Java run without Java?
Funny
Only that I have already seen many company computers that have Java on them
Of course, you shouldn't put what you want on a company computer as a developer studio that works with Java, but you can't avoid it, but why should you install Java on a company computer if the company doesn't even need Java? That is much more the reason
Well, I edit videos and photos and need Java at Adobe if I compress RAW files, for example. Java runs in the background.
How else should he access the Java installation profile?
Very good example I forgot that
Was the question for me or the FS?
To you
How else should he access the Java installation profile?
With admin rights? I don't understand what you want from me…
Yes with admin rights
You asked why a minecraft client rightly uses it
You asked why a minecraft client rightly uses it
It was neither about the installer nor the installation profile. A Minecraft client should not require such rights. Or do you always start Minecraft with admin rights?
No, I don't think you understand something
Minecraft needs Java or depends on it because minecraft is based on Java
And if you install Java somewhere where you can only access with administrator rights, it is logical that the launcher asks for these rights in order to be able to access the corresponding Java installation. How else can this be done?
Ah, that's what you mean. I still find it strange when you need admin rights. Java is installed in the Admin Protected Program Files folder. I've never needed admin rights for this. Whatever.
