Problems with App Center

Hello!
I’m trying to run a .jar file (OptiFine specifically) using OpenJDK extensions from the App Center.
I’m not really sure if this is even going to work, but there are some more issues anyways.
First of all, the app center fails installing the OpenJDK extensions. When I install them and I go to the file → right click → open with other application → view all applications, the list is absolutely the same as before. I made sure I allowed executing the file as a program from properties, but still nothing. When I restart the computer and open the app center, the extensions are nowhere to be found in installed, even though they appear installed when I search them. That all happened in OS 3.9.1, and wasn’t the only issue regarding that. There were also 2 add-ons for update, called ‘Freedesktop Platform’ that refused to get updated. Earlier this day I upgraded to OS 3.9.2 and all this remains, this time with only one Freedesktop Platform to update. This time though I got errors when I tried installing OpenJDK:
Unable to install “OpenJDK SDK Extension” as download failed: While pulling runtime/org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.openjdk/x86_64/18.08 from remote flathub: Error resolving “dl.flathub.org”: Name or service not known
or:

or:

All I can understand from these errors is that I’m wasting my time trying to install unexisting things, but what do I know?
Also, in 3.9.1 I randomly got an error when I opened the app center multiple times:
Sorry, something went wrong:
No such ref ‘runtime/com.hack_computer.Clubhouse.Locale/x86_64/eos3’ in remote eos-apps
That might give more context, I don’t really know.

You can install using the toolbox command. The Toolbox is a tool that offers a familiar RPM based environment for developing and debugging software that runs fully unprivileged using Podman. I recommend reading the toolbox command documentation using the command toolbox --help or github.com/debarshiray/toolbox/tree/master/doc

Create a new toolbox container using the command:

toolbox create --release f33 

To run the toolbox use the command:

toolbox enter --release f33

To install OpenJDK use the command:

sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk
