I wanted to play Minecraft 1.17-pre-release 1 but it gives me a JNI error. I can't take a picture because I can't play it. This is what the error said: Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again. When I press OK, I get another error that says: A Java Exception has occurred. When I press OK, it gives me this crash game output saying:

I think it only works on the full release of Minecraft 1.17.

Please make the pre-release compatible for Java class file version 53.0.

I just found out that 1.17 only works on Java 16. Please close.
