The 1.16 branch was a based off of the 1.18 branch and uses a Java version newer than 8, which is causing launch issues for users playing on 1.16. The required Java version has been changed to 8 in with this commit and the code has been adjusted to match the available language features; users should now be able to use this mod without any issue!
