What hardware and OS are you running Blockbench on?
Macbook Air M1 chip. I restarted with hardware acceleration disabled and this still happened.

What OS?

That’s odd… does reinstalling and restarting fix it? I cannot repro so I’m not sure what the culprit is but reading the log you sent it looks like Blockbench can’t make a connection with the GPU

If reinstalling it doesn't work, I don't think that restarting my computer will work. The web version works, though.

Somebody please help me!
I can't use Animated Java because of this!
It's still happening even when I restart my computer and reinstall the app! Please help me!

This is what clued me into this

You can build your own copy so you don't have to unpack it

but I don't really know how to modify the source code to add this, and I'm not even sure if it'll work.

Something to suggest is just building a local copy and seeing if it works
