=== Prism Launcher doesn't have Java Version XX. ===

The ~~Prismlauncher~~ package can be overridden with <code>~~(pkgs.prismlauncher.override { jdks = [ pkgs~~.<~~JAVA_PACKAGE~~> ~~]; })~~</code>~~. For example:~~ <code>~~(pkgs.prismlauncher.override { jdks = [ pkgs.temurin-bin-21 pkgs.temurin-bin-8 pkgs.temurin-bin-17 ]; })~~</code>

The [[Prism Launcher]] package can be overridden to add additional [[Java]] runtimes. Check [[Prism_Launcher#Advanced]] to see an example.

=== Minecraft Launch Error with NVIDIA Graphics and System GLFW. ===

When using the system GLFW together with an NVIDIA graphics card in the launcher, Minecraft may fail to start and display the following error message: <code>GLFW error 65544: EGL: Failed to clear current context: An EGLDisplay argument does not name a valid EGL display connection</code>.

In this case, setting the environment variable <code>__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS</code> to <code>0</code> resolves the issue.
