  • Can someone help with port forwarding?
    You can use UPnP PortMapper. Source code/Download. All you need is Java and that's it. Hope this helps. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • PolyGlot 3.5 Release
    I would definitely suggest installing Java for this one, and the error should have asked you to do so. I'll have to look into why that was not popping properly for you and address it in a bug fix. In the mean time, you can address the issue by going here to install Java: https://java.com/en/. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

  • What to do immediately with a brand new build?
    Java, Adobe Reader, Handbrake (great for converting and adjusting videos). - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Game keeps crashing every time I attempt to create new world on start up.
    I see you are using a correct version of Java, which is Java 8, but go and download the newer update for Java at Java.com. Use this walk through to change your Java to what you just downloaded for MultiMC. Scroll down to "Setting up Java in MultiMC." Start from where you pick your instances of Mincraft and follow the arrows on the picture. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Continuing from last post, managed to change the file into a Java one but now this comes up when I try to open it🤦‍♂️ help? I just want optifine..
    Aright. So first step is make sure you have downloaded Java se here , open it, then go to the optifine download and open that up real quick. There should now be an installation in the launcher called optifine (your version). Let me know if it works! - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
