Thank you sir. From the quick research I did, I can't seem to find an option for Java above V11 for the Amazon Linux 2 OS. Hopefully your research yields better results than mine.
OK it's related to the Minecraft version, as 1.17 is now requiring Java 16 (instead of Java 8 on 1.16.5, that's a pretty big move!)

I will update the article to be sure to download 1.16.5 because it seems less easy to get Java 16 on Amazon Linux 2.
Thanks !
Julien, I think I found the way to get a higher level of Java on Amazon Linux 2 using the Corretto library. Here are the commands:
sudo rpm --import yum.corretto.aws/corretto.key sudo curl -L -o /etc/yum.repos.d/corretto.repo yum.corretto.aws/corretto.repo sudo yum list available | grep java
sudo yum install -y java-17-amazon-corretto-devel.x86_64
sudo update-alternatives --config java Select the Corretto Java 17 from the list
big thanks for digging that! I will update the article ASAP and test on my minecraft server !
done @mudhen459 thanks a lot !
