yes, like other jdk tools, jpackage is dependent on the java it is 
shipped with.

You need to restore /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.1.jdk/ to 
it's original state and run jpackage from jdk-13.internal with the option:

"--runtime-image 
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/"

that way you can use jpackage from JDK-13 to package an app with JDK-11.0.1.

I also noticed you used modular option "--add-modules 
java.base,java.desktop" with (possibly) a non-modular app.  Unless 
EazyCNC.jar is a modular jar, this may be ignored and the app will be 
bundled with the entire contents of JDK-11.0.1.

you can avoid that by running jlink first, and creating a minimal 
jdk-11.0.1 runtime image for your app, or by building EazyCNC.jar as a 
modular app (or as a modular jar which you may have already done for all 
I know)
