Contrary to popular belief, Javascript and Java are unrelated (except for similar C-like syntax overall). Some big differences between them include that Javascript is weakly-typed, was intended from its creation to be used with HTML in web browsers, and because of that has many built in methods for manipulating and interacting with HTML and CSS. Plus, there isn't just one Javascript interpreter, whereas all Java applications are run on Sun's JRE.
Well, besides the people that made them. And you're forgetting linux when you say they all run on Sun's JRE. I know some linux computers that run on openjdk instead.

Java is different to Javascript.

The people that made them? Sun (now part of Oracle) made Java, and Netscape made Javascript.
And OpenJDK is by Oracle, so I think it counts as within the "Sun JRE".

You can't use Javascript (even with a modification) to mod Minecraft. Plus, it's inaccurate to say "normal Java" when Java is the only Java and JS is not related.

Pardon my extreme and almost obsessive attention to detail, but Sun is a subdivision of Oracle and OpenJDK is another, making them siblings. It would, therefore, only be completely accurate to say "Oracle's JRE".

Sun no longer exists as an entity in any shape or form and I was really just referring to Oracle (and saying Sun just by habit). Plus, the Wikipedia article I linked to says "It is the result of an effort Sun Microsystems began in 2006."
Therefore, they are both the results of work by Sun. Hence the classification as the Sun JRE.

I could borrow you a book to help you learn, but this is the internet...
Try googling some java tutorials.
