The wording java 16 is a little bit confusing here.
Java contains 2 things, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Java Development Kit (JDK).
What's causing confusion here is the latest version of JRE is 8, meanwhile the latest version for JDK is 16
What you need is JDK 16. Since Java 16 don't have JRE, you need to specifically download JDK 16. Even if you don't develop java apps.
