This is happening because as of the letest Minecraft patch Java 21 is required.

I've already requestesd to update the java version used by LinuxGSM: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/pull/4562

In the meantime, run sudo apt install openjdk-21-jdk to install Java 21 (JDK).

I got the same, but managed to fix it separately by doing the same as @MicLieg suggested. Also, I think this here is identical for both versions of Ubuntu. Probably this duplicate should be removed.
