    What Java version do you have? They switched to a much newer version of Java at some point, maybe the old versions of Minecraft are trying to use the new Java and flipping out?

      On arch the default java environment can be checked with archlinux-java status if archlinux-java-run is installed

        It is also dependent on how they’ve installed Prism, if through the Flatpak it bundles its own Java versions, Java 8 is included and can just be selected in the settings specifically for that instance

    Just launched 1.8.9 with the Prism Launcher and it looks fine for me. (I’m using Kubuntu 22.04.3 LTS)

    Maybe it’s a java issue? Old Minecraft uses java 8, maybe try reinstalling it and seeing if that works. Best of luck!
