Lithium 0.5.2 for Minecraft 1.16.2 cannot run in openj9

[BelowZeroKelvin]

Lithium 0.5.2 for Minecraft 1.16.2 cannot run in openj9, but 0.5.1 for 1.16.1 can.

Here is my console log.

This is a vanilla/OpenJ9 issue, unrelated to Lithium.

It has been fixed in OpenJ9 as of 7 days ago, so perhaps you could use a nightly build of it as a workaround?

Thanks, I'll try it.

I run it with a nightly build successful.
