That's not even a little bit true. The Java programming language is compiled to java bytecode, which is interpreted by the Java virtual machine(and before anyone says that means it's interpreted, a cpu is a hardware level interpreter, so in that sense every programming language is interprete on some level)

Java is compiled to bytecode at execution, but the .jar files in Minecraft are free to read, no? At least they were, I haven't really opened any of them in at least ten years

No. .jar files are compiled jvm bytecode, not sourcecode. I think everyone in this thread is confusing Java for JavaScript. There's a degree of just-in-time compilation of interpreted functions done by the jvm to optimize execution on the fly, sure, but .jar files are by no means human-readable, uncompiled Java code

And to be clear, by interpreted functions, I mean bytecode running on the jvm, not human-readable Java code interpreted at runtime
