   * 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.

   * 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.
