Trying to install Minecraft on 18.04 and I get the following error. 

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning:
Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0
 and will likely be removed in a future release.
Unrecognized VM option 'CMSIncrementalMode'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Any suggestions?

I edited my profile. I changed the JVM Arguments from 

-Xmx1G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:-UseAdaptiveSizePolicy -Xmn128M

to

-Xmx1G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:-UseAdaptiveSizePolicy -Xmn128M

Then Minecraft worked for me.

(I got the Idea from: JVM errors when running minecraft)

Replace openjdk-jre-11 with openjdk-jre-8. Minecraft will not run on newer java versions.

Install MC Installer -

sudo snap install mc-installer

No need to go through JDK/JVM hassle.
