Issue description

I tried to launch creator but it said that there was an error but I couldn't figure out what it was. I copied the error message thing:

Issue comments

You are using Java 10, where MCreator only supports Java 8. Check this page for more info: https://mcreator.net/install/mac

You need to have Java 8 as default Java on your computer (JAVA_HOME) and the moment.

Verify this by running java -version to make sure Java 8 is used.
