   * If you get a black screen after starting MC - go to Version, select Install Forge again and install the oldest version of forge instead.
   * If you cant open the Shaders Zip, check that your Anti-Virus is not blocking it, shaders are basically blocks of code, so they can freak out some anti-virus - also try using a good zipping tool like 7zip!
-  * On M1 Macs colours are inverted in MC, there is no way to fix this in windowed mode, but it will go away in fullscreen if you use the prism launcher.

   * If nothing happens when you try and connect to the server, press the enter key instead of clicking to join!
   * 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!

   * 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//
