 The server runs on Minecraft 1.5.2, you can use any modern client including the official one, just install version 1.5.2 and connect to the server IP! However because this is an old version of the game you may also want to follow the __Recommended Game Setup__ guide below for best results!

 This is all __totally optional__, however this guide will get you setup with the best possible rig for playing this server; I highly recommend you follow these steps!

+//(ALERT: Windows 11 seems to have a lot of issues - the guide may work well for you, but you are a lot better off installing [[linux|Linux]] as a second OS and using that!)//
 ==== Step 0 - Make sure Java 8 is installed! ====
 **Windows**: Download here: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp (Pick version Windows Offline (64-bit))
-**Mac**: There are a few extra steps for Mac users - we will install Zulu, a custom Java build that also works on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
+**Mac**: Download here: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp (Pick the ARM version if you have a newer Mac with an M-series processor - for older Intel Macs, pick the other option)
-  - Install the Homebrew Loader: https://brew.sh
-  - In terminal run: //brew tap homebrew/cask-versions//
-  - Then run: //brew install --cask zulu8//
 **Linux**: You can generally skip this step. If you are using Flatpak or Appimage packages to install Minecraft or any 3rd party launcher (like Prism), java should be preinstalled inside the package or at the very least install automatically.

   * Sometimes joining the server just fails; keep trying 3-4 times and it should work!
   * I cant climb ladders!!? - Make sure you install forge version 7.8.0.735 - it fixes this issue!
-  * Textures are white or black blocks/are not transparent on the server texture! - Check that you have the latest version! - if you do tell melon!
+  * Textures are glitched or not rendering in the toolbar! - Toggle between your texture pack and another one!
+  * I did but, Textures are white or black blocks/are not transparent on the server texture! - Check that you have the latest version! - if you do tell melon!
   * Everyones skin is the same / I cant see my skin? - Did you install the skin fix mod? If not, do it! (Skins no longer work on older vanilla minecraft games without a fix)
   * I still cant find "coremods" in Prism! - You can find it manually by launching the game, opening the texturepacks folder from options, then navigating one level back into the ".minecraft" folder; here you will see your coremods folder and you can drag .jar files into it.
   * On Steam Deck search for the community layout "Minecraft - Older Java Versions without controller support" to get proper controls!
+For Macs: If you cannot run the Java installer for some reason, you can try the 3rd-party version of Java called Zulu with some extra steps to install:
+  - Install the Homebrew Loader: https://brew.sh
+  - In terminal run: //brew tap homebrew/cask-versions//
+  - Then run: //brew install --cask zulu8//
