Well, Java can call into native code. I'm pretty sure Mojang isn't doing that sort of thing, but I wasn't entirely sure they weren't depending on a subset of the JVM or a native library that is defacto standard in the x86 world.

I don't remember Minecraft server edition relyint on native binaries, but it's been a while since last ran it, maybe Mojang changed it.

Same, and it sounds like it doesn't... I just wasn't sure. You can also run into things like "I never realized this was using... glibc... which is on every x86 Linux computer." I don't think that's happened either though.

Programs like Box86 and Box64 csn efficiently make native calls work out if there are native equivalents available, and there's always qemu-static if that fails.

Interesting, good to know
