I did this literately yesterday following this guide: https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/how-to-set-up-and-r...

Kids played for a couple of hours last night without issue.

It should even be able to load mods without any issue right? If I recall correctly mod installation in minecraft is nothing more than placing some files in a folder?

Yes and no. Although Minecraft is Java, there’s none of the “ahem” pleasure of using something like Maven/Gradle to manage plug-in dependencies. So plug-in A might require plug-in B, but not too new. And then these only work on the not-quite-current version of Minecraft.

It’s usually an hour or two of work every time my kids want a new plug-in or MC version.
