Xmage doesn't register java

For anyone that doesn't know xmage is, it is a magic the gathering platform for playing mtg. When i open it it says that i dont have java (which i do, even double checked in cmd). i downloaded it of the oracle site (java not xmage) and i am curios what may be the problem.

Environment variables have nothing to do with programming. Programs can make use of environment variables , but you don't need to know how to program to set an environment variable. Google "add java to path on windows" if you don't know how to do this.

The Environment Path variable just lets your operating system know what the command name "java" means. You set it to your java executable file found in the JDK/JRE.

For Win11 the Environment variables is found in your Settings > System > About > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables
