I need help, I only play MInecraft 1.8.9 and it looks like this on every distro I use, with any launcher, this screenshot it taken on Arch Linux with LXDE and Prism Launcher. (on windows it works btw)

Specs:
OS : Arch Linux
GPU : Nvidia 1660 Super
CPU : Ryzen 5 2600 3.400GHz
RAM : 8 GB

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

I think Minecraft launchers have their own setting for Java versions but I have no clue which one they select and I am almost certain Java 8 (which as far as I remember was the version for that Minecraft version) won't be the Arch Linux default.
