For some reason Oracle doesn't make their own new versions of Java and restrictive licences likely prevent Mojang and Prism from distributing their own, so we're going to have to download one ourselves.
This part may only apply to Windows, I'm not sure how it would go on macOS and I can't be bothered to test on Linux distributions so you might have to improvise for this step.

Click on the "Latest LTS Release" download button and install it.
Click on the ".msi" button for whichever architecture is applicable to you (likely x64) and install it.
<em>Make sure the installer is set to install <strong>Set JAVA_HOME variable</strong> and <strong>JavaSoft (Oracle) registry keys</strong> or you will have issues later on.</em>
Just pick always install for everything.
