Read the Mod Notice on the report linked above. Here, I'll quote it for you:
This error happens when you launch the client (the game) or server (the .jar) without Java 16 in 21w19 and above. Minecraft has was updated to use Java 16 as per the 21w19a changelog
To fix this issue, download the Java SE Development Kit 16 and follow the steps below for the client or server.
Make sure that your launcher is running Java 16. To do so, change the Java executable runtime to target "javaw.exe" in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16.0.1\bin\javaw.exe or where you installed Java 16. Contact your launcher maintainers if you cannot switch or do not know how to switch to Java 16.
Download the Java 16 installer from https://adoptopenjdk.net/?variant=openjdk16, run it, then make sure your java path is set to your Java 16 installation. For further support, to the Minecraft Community Support discord server, where volunteers can assist you. The bug tracker is not a place to get tech support.
