what launcher are you using?
the base vanilla launcher, i cant find any others that have the potato update
go to installations, edit the potato installation, more options, clear any text under the java executable field
wait actually
for which potato, vanilla or fabric?

fabric

put this in the java executable field

did I download something wrong?
launch a 1.20.5+ installation if you havent already and also change java.exe to javaw.exe
I did originally, it didnt work so i tried taking out the w, ill put it back
your launcher app icon is a green creeper right?
yea
ok i guess the launcher doesnt recognize its own java lol
download and install java 21 from https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?variant=openjdk21&jvmVariant=hotspot&os=windows&arch=x64 (windows x64 .msi installer for either jre or jdk)
then change the java executable to
C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-21.0.2.13-hotspot\bin\javaw.exe
for fabric, right?
yea

The game crashed: unexpected error
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.minecraft.class_1297.method_5705(float)" because "$$1" is null
does this mean the shaders were uncompatable
@SPINZ
it happened after applying them?
after joining a game with them
they do it with all shaders
not a shader incompatibility then, it's something else, send the crash report:
How to find crash reports and logs
Consider uploading your log or crash report to https://mclo.gs/ then sending the link to it in Discord. This makes it much easier to read the logs and it even automatically hides critical information like your IP address!
If your issue involves a game crash, please locate the crash-reports folder in your .minecraft directory and upload the relevant crash report.
If your issue does NOT involve a crash, or there is otherwise no available crash report, please locate the logs folder in your .minecraft directory and upload the file named latest.log
