PEM Base64 Error while using mineflayer NPM Package

Hello.

I am interested in using Deno to build a Minecraft player bot. I used the minelayer package and the Deno runtime. I wrote simple code that should log in to the player using Microsoft authentication.
I am using Deno version 2.0.3, which is running on aarch64 Linux.
I am also running mineflayer version 4.23.0.

I am currently attempting to run this code:
I put placeholders for privacy sake, however I don't believe that should matter too much.

import mineflayer from "mineflayer";

console.log("Hello, world!");
const bot = mineflayer.createBot({
    host: "[remote ip]",
    port: 25565,
    username: "[username]",
    auth: "microsoft",
    version: "1.20.4",
});

bot.on("login", () => {
    bot.chat("Hello, world!");
});

import mineflayer from "mineflayer";

console.log("Hello, world!");
const bot = mineflayer.createBot({
    host: "[remote ip]",
    port: 25565,
    username: "[username]",
    auth: "microsoft",
    version: "1.20.4",
});

bot.on("login", () => {
    bot.chat("Hello, world!");
});

After authenticating with a Microsoft account. I get this strange error:

This code works as intended using the latest version of node js, which is 23.0.0-1.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install mineflayer package.

deno add npm:mineflayer

deno add npm:mineflayer

2. Write above code.
3. Run script and authenticate.

deno run main.ts

deno run main.ts

4. Observe error.
