Okay, so when I boot MC creator it'll hang on the 3rd phase of preparing a mod, something about gradle. But it doesn't just hang the Mcreator program but also my desktop environment, alt tab, and TTY programs. I've ran this program on an Intel Pentium 4405U with 8GB of RAM, but only 4GB usable because of the iGPU and been able to launch and boot the game. But yet on my G74Sx (Laptop) with higher specs I cannot boot the program.

I can boot into a modern version of the game on Forge or Fabric and receive about 60FPS, if not 80FPS. Sure that isn't great but I should be able to BOOT the program to begin with.

I could, though I would need to know the directory in which crash logs are stored, as the system freezes beyond any sort of repair besides a force shutdown once the error occurs so the terminal output is not accessible.

Java may not be compatible with this, mcreator only supports Java 16. Check this out before doing so. But I don't understand Java, so I can't promise anything.

I cannot boot into the game as MCreator never boots into the editor to begin with.
