java.awt.AWTError: Assistive Technology not found: org.GNOME.Accessibility.AtkWrapper

What it looks like in the log

java.awt.AWTError: Assistive Technology not found: org.GNOME.Accessibility.AtkWrapper

How to fix it

  1. Pass `-Djavax.accessibility.assistive_technologies=" "` (keep the single space inside the quotes) in your Java command or launcher JVM arguments to bypass the accessibility wrapper for that session.
  2. To fix the issue permanently for your system's OpenJDK on Ubuntu/Debian, edit `/etc/java-8-openjdk/accessibility.properties` (replace `8` with your Java version, such as `17` or `21`) using `sudo`, place a `#` in front of `assistive_technologies=org.GNOME.Accessibility.AtkWrapper`, and save the file.
  3. Alternatively, switch from your Linux distribution's default OpenJDK package to Eclipse Temurin (Adoptium) or Azul Zulu, which do not enable AtkWrapper by default.
  4. If this crash happens while starting a dedicated Minecraft server on a headless Linux machine, add `nogui` to the end of your startup command (for example, `java -jar server.jar nogui`) so Java skips loading graphical components.
