And another bit of Minecraft related-news...I migrated my Java account and the launcher is refusing to recognize my Microsoft login. So I might not be able to do any Minecraft Java stuff for a while...waiting on Mojang to get back to me, and they tend to have really big backlogs, so it may take a long time. Since I can't access Java right now, I may get started on posting up builds from my bedrock edition Realm world. I've got the newer amulet editor which should be compatible with the world format, if I'm recalling correctly.

New Java update causing a bug in Minecraft Java 1.12.2

I've always appreciated Minecraft Java Edition supporting the use of older versions of the game, but it seems that support doesn't take into account problems created by newer versions of java. The latest java update actually introduced a new lighting bug (torches sometimes won't emit light when you place them down)  for Minecraft 1.12.2 and I regret installing it. If you use this same version of Minecraft Java, be wary of that new Java update and maybe stick with what you have currently.

Lately I've seen a couple similar forum posts where people were having trouble figuring out how to play older versions of Minecraft Java, as well as...

I made a tutorial for Minecraft! Over the last couple days, I’ve seen some folks on the forums struggling with figuring out how to get older versions of Minecraft Java, so I made a guide to help with that :)
