   * 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//
