Line 28:
#Install [https://multimc.org/#Download MultiMC] or [https://prismlauncher.org/ Prism Launcher]. If you are on Windows 10 or 11, make sure you are not installing it in a OneDrive folder!
## Register your Minecraft account with the launcher. It must run in online mode at least once to authenticate.
# Java 1721 can be downloaded for example [https://adoptium.net/temurin/ from Adoptium]. Go to "Other platforms and versions", pick the JRE that matches your computer's OS and architecture. Unpack and install it. If you don't get an installer in your download, check that you haven't grabbed a JDK by mistake.
## Typical Windows file path: <code>C:/Program Files/Eclipse Adoptium/jre-17.0.9.9-hotspot/bin/javaw.exe</code>
## Typical MacOS file path: <code>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</code>
Line 36:
## If the <code>Java path:</code> says anything about Java 8 or testing fails, hit the [...] button and manually set the filepath.
## Individual instances can also be assigned a specific Java version, arguments and memory allocation. Right-click the instance icon, choose Edit > Settings > Java.
#If you are using MultiMC you also need to add the additional Java arguments from [https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/lwjgl3ify/blob/1.5.7/README.MD#client here for 2.5.1 or older] or [https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/lwjgl3ify#client here for 2.6.0-nightly/beta or newer]. You only want the Java args from that page, nothing else. This step is not needed in Prism.
