This is not a bug - I didn't know where to post this. Earlier today when I was updating Java, I was sent to https://www.java.com/en/download/release_notice.jsp . This webpage states that there will be no more updates for Java. This issue regards Minecraft since the Java edition is coded in Java. I don't know what will happen to Minecraft on PC after this.

Yes, read that again. Also, Minecraft uses it's own Java type iirc. No problems here and not a bug, use this for bugs in Minecraft only, thanks.
Read the page again; it's not directly applicable (it's EOL for java 8, with other versions on a different license if you use oracle JDK but openjdk also exists and has none of those issues – at least if I recall correctly) (and note that the launcher does install its own copy of java, so you shouldn't need to manually do it). I'm fairly sure mojang is already aware of this, but thanks for thinking about it at least.
Please do not mark unreleased versions as affected.
You don't have access to them yet.
