Yup Though I would recommend going to the development kits and getting Java 17. 8 will work fine though

why is 17.8 better out of curiosity?

Java 17 is newer and can run Minecraft 1.17 and up while Java 8 can only run 1.16.5 and older That part is only relevant if you’re going to use a third-party launcher though
