Trying to install Minecraft on 18.04 and I get the following error.



OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning:
Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0
and will likely be removed in a future release.
Unrecognized VM option 'CMSIncrementalMode'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.


Any suggestions?

          I edited my profile. I changed the JVM Arguments from



          -Xmx1G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:-UseAdaptiveSizePolicy -Xmn128M


          to



          -Xmx1G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:-UseAdaptiveSizePolicy -Xmn128M


          Then Minecraft worked for me.

            Replace openjdk-jre-11 with openjdk-jre-8. Minecraft will not run on newer java versions.

              While this may be the case, the OP did not say that were using Java 8 or higher. Also, Java 11 does not exist yet.

            • It was explained to me in a blog that I forgot which blog it was that Ubuntu 18.04 will launch a new openjdk-10-jdk package when it becomes available, so it can't use openjdk-10-jdk as a package name because that package name has already been reserved.

            • You can add that as well mod's for minecraft are made using java 8, beside that this answer is right and java jre/jdk 8 can be installed alongside the default java 10.0.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It is enough to have the launcher profile use java 8 to start minecraft, starting the launcher with java 10 is no problem at all.

            Type




            sudo snap install minecraft




            in the terminal to install it. No need to go through JDK/JVM hassle.

                      @ubashu Despite the weird nomenclature the openjdk-11-jdk package exists in Ubuntu 18.04.

                      It was explained to me in a blog that I forgot which blog it was that Ubuntu 18.04 will launch a new openjdk-10-jdk package when it becomes available, so it can't use openjdk-10-jdk as a package name because that package name has already been reserved.

                      You can add that as well mod's for minecraft are made using java 8, beside that this answer is right and java jre/jdk 8 can be installed alongside the default java 10.0.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It is enough to have the launcher profile use java 8 to start minecraft, starting the launcher with java 10 is no problem at all.
