I'm having a similar issue on Linux Mint as well.

once i got the same issue, you need to set JVM Arguments so Modrinth wont start Minecraft in Wayland anymore so it would start in X11 and it works perfectly.

I use Zorin OS 18 too!

I think they're saying that the Modrinth app itself is what isn't loading correctly, not Minecraft. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, the app won’t load so I had to switch back to Windows 11 🤮 Thank you. -Tyler Henley

I've been using Prism Launcher in the meantime. It doesn't look as good as Modrinth and isn't as easy to use, but works really well (and is recommended by Modrinth in the case that their launcher doesn't work on Linux).
