VLC crashes starting Blu-ray disc from external HD

[Tockman]

After system upgrade to macos 10.15.7, VLC 3.0.11.1 suddenly stopped playing Blu-rays from external hard disks. After choosing File => Open disk => Open VIDEO_TS/BDMV folder, player just disappears leaving no error notification. Trying over some amount of BD folders I might presume that it happens only with Java menu Blu-rays. Getting a message of new libbluray 1.2.1 release I decided to give it a try and replaced old libbluray (1.2) with new version. After that all I got is a very familiar message, almost forgotten for two last years - "Java required. This Blu-ray disc requires Java for menu playback support. The disc will be played without menus". Have you got any solution for such situation? Thank you.
My Java version is 1.8.0_271-b09.
