Make sure MineRL installed correctly when you were installing it, and make sure you have only Java 8 and JDK 8 installed.

@AromaticHydrocarbon I am encountering the exact same issue, just wondering have you resolved this one? many thanks.

[AkagawaTsurunaki]

Changing the version of the JDK to JDK 8 on my Ubuntu system solved the issue. Use the command to quickly alternate the JDK.

sudo update-alternatives --config java
