I've seen this github is very active, but when reading other threads about people having this problem, it seems like everyone has figured it out in the background without describing it in the thread.

So as you can see, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to this. I've even moved the Javaw from the 161 folder to replace the one in the prepackaged Minecraft Java folder.

I've gone into the launch options with advanced settings and specified the javaw from the Java 8 update 161 folder. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my launcher to use a different version of Java. I'm not using any particular modpack (just some random ones I've put together for myself) and am working from the standard Minecraft Launcher. I've never had to make Minecraft use a different version of Java before.
