This is about as close to yours as I think I can get and I didn’t recreate, it is how I run mine shell script…

#!/bin/bash

set -e

PACKAGER=`/usr/libexec/java_home`/bin/jpackage

${PACKAGER} --version

echo 'remove prior dist'
rm -rf outputdir
mkdir outputdir

#	--install-dir outputdir \
#   --add-modules java.desktop,java.prefs,java.se \

${PACKAGER} \
	--verbose \
	--type app-image \
	--input ./input \
	--dest outputdir \
	--app-version 1.0.0  \
	--name BlackJack\ Blastoff \
	--main-jar bjb.jar \
	--main-class org.bjb.BlackJackApp \
	--runtime-image /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-14.jdk/Contents/Home \
	--java-options '-Xmx1024m -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50  -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -Dcom.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name=BlackjackBlastoff -Dapple.awt.application.name=Blackjack\ Blastoff' \
	--icon /Users/mjh/HalfPipe/HalfPipe_jpkg/GenericApp.icns

I think is about everything you had except different —java-options, mine of course excluding your modular related.

ls "outputdir/BlackJack Blastoff.app”

If you use /usr/libexec/java_home you can get the current jdk and not need to hardcode the path into JavaVirtualMachines. It looks like you only maintain one version of the JDK, the release appeared stripped in your path? This also allows you to run other versions if you want like…

/usr/libexec/java_home -v 14 --exec jpackage --version
WARNING: Using incubator modules: jdk.incubator.jpackage
14.0.2

If of interest to anyone I still haven’t figured out signing. It errored giving some indication that the JDK had already been signed? I posted that sometime back. I keep meaning to look at what there is for testing but haven’t yet. Any thoughts on that would still be appreciated.
