In this page of the wiki:

https://prismlauncher.org/wiki/getting-started/installing-java/

it is instructed to download new Java versions. While this will work, I think users should be aware that if they already have the default Minecraft Launcher installed, and have run some versions of Minecraft with it, they could usually find the runtimes corresponding with those versions in the Minecraft Launcher installation folder.

An example: In Windows, given you have already opened a newer version of Minecraft with the default launcher, you could find the Java version 17 runtime executable in "C:/Program Files (x86)/Minecraft Launcher/runtime/java-runtime-gamma/windows-x64/java-runtime-gamma/bin/javaw.exe".

I think this should be mentioned in the wiki.

Isn't the article about installing java? I don't think it's necessary to say it 🤔

Tbh i dont think mentioning that is relevant. Using a different jre then using auto detect is probably easier than trying to manually find the jre minecraft installs
