.jar file giving error to "check console"

I'm on a mid-2012 MacBook Pro running Catalina and I'm trying to play modded Minecraft with friends, however, every time I download a mod with the .jar extension I get this:

So, I activated logging for Java from the Control Panel and this is the result of me searching .jar:

For the most part, the lines don't go longer than that. When I typed in Java, I got this this behemoth:

Any ideas?

Install a JDK This is a chestnut but I keep getting the "you need to install a JDK" error message on my new iMac running Catalina. When I try to install the Java legacy software (cf various other threads on same topic) I get the message below (Java for Mac OS 2017-001 can't be installed on this disk. A newer version of this package is already installed). To date, I have tried to uninstall the current Java, reinstall the legacy Java and then reinstall the latest Java, both with Java's now uninstall program and Mac Terminal. It still won't let me reinstall the legacy Java. On restart, and with no apps running, I still get the message below. Does anyone have any bright ideas, please? Even isolating the code/app that's looking for the legacy Java would be good. Best wishes, cata Will
