ExceptionInInitializerError at LinuxSysImplementation

[scrouthtv]

I am currently trying to get a Minecraft MDK running on Linux arch-desktop 5.6.12-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun, 10 May 2020 10:43:42 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
I got this error during runtime:

Now while this is actually somewhat an issue on Minecraft's side, I am looking for help here, because the Minecraft version I'm using is not officially supported anymore, and the error is somewhat caused by an lwjgl call (I guess)..

Some context:
net.minecraft.client.Minecraft.getSystemTime (the second to last call in the stacktrace does this`:

public static long getSystemTime() {
  return Sys.getTime() * 1000L / Sys.getTimerResolution();
}

(credit goes to Mojang or whoever did this)

where Sys is https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl/blob/master/src/java/org/lwjgl/Sys.java.

Following the stacktrace I found https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl/blob/master/src/java/org/lwjgl/LinuxSysImplementation.java#L50

so I made a little Java Program:

import java.awt.Toolkit;

Toolkit tk = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
System.out.println(tk == null);
System.out.println(tk != null ? tk.getClass() : "null");
System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.awt.headless"));

Which compiled and ran perfectly fine:

false
class sun.awt.X11.XToolkit
null

So for the same line my script doesn't throw an exception?
I included the exact same file in both scripts.

One line above there is a mention of libawt.so and libmawt.so as well as libjawt.so. I don't know where Java searches for these files, they are however located in

 ~ > locate libawt.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk/lib/libawt.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-13-openjdk/lib/libawt.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/libawt.so
 ~ > locate libmawt.so
 ~ > locate libjawt.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk/lib/libjawt.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-13-openjdk/lib/libjawt.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/libjawt.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/lib/amd64/libjawt.so

my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is empty but I think this should only be relevant for the c compiler and not Java VM.

I found #128 suggesting that mesa is causing this problem. I have installed both mesa and the nvidia drivers, while the nvidia drivers are in use, my xorg server depends on mesa so I can't really uninstall it that easily.

I am a bit lost what I could do to move on. If there is anyone having an idea what could be causing this issue, any help would be appreciated!

Was actually easy to fix, I just had to

export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true'
