As others have been saying, it's most likely a Java issue.

Make sure to install (or reinstall) Java8 and make sure it's selected in the prism launcher for use under v1.8.9 specifically. That way, you can continue to play using Java17 on recent versions a bit simpler than having to constantly swap Java versions
