 Setting it up on the official Mojang launcher is a bit more complicated. I'd recommend using one of the other launchers, such as PrismLauncher. It's sorta easy to get used to, and it's free and open-source. You can **[[https://prismlauncher.org/download/|get PrismLauncher here]]**.
+Here are the steps to set it up on the official Mojang launcher if you prefer using it anyways:
   * Download the [[https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/|Fabric Installer]] and install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.19.2.
   * Start the Minecraft Installer, go to "Minecraft: Java Edition", and select the "Installations" page.
-  * Find the "fabric-loader-1.19.2" installation. If you needs to change its "Game Directory", change it now.
+  * Find the "fabric-loader-1.19.2" installation. If you needs to change its "Game Directory", change it now. You can also rename it to your preference.
   * Click on the folder button to open its game directory. Download [[https://minecraft-transit-railway.github.io/LetsPlay-Packwiz/packwiz-installer.zip|This ZIP archive containing JARs for Packwiz-Installer]], and extract the JARs into this game directory. They need to be in this directory, don't extract them into a sub-directory.
-  * Click the three-dots button besides the "fabric-loader-1.19.2" installation, select edit, and select "more options".
+  * Click the three-dots button besides this installation, select edit, and select "more options".
   * Prepend the following text to "JVM arguments": \\ (Leave a space between the end of "toml" and the rest of the existing texts! Like: ...toml -Xmx, Not like: ...toml-Xmx)
 <code ->
 -javaagent:packwiz-installer-bootstrap-wrapper.jar=https://minecraft-transit-railway.github.io/LetsPlay-Packwiz/pack.toml
 </code>
-  * If you see "-Xmx2G" in JVM arguments, you might want to change it to a larger value, like "-Xmx4G" or "-Xmx8G". It's not the larger the better, you should consider how much RAM your PC has and leave a few GiBs of memory to spare. but if you have a powerful PC with like 16GB of memory, setting it to 8G would be better.
+  * Assigning 8 GiB or more to Java is recommended. To edit that, replace the "-Xmx*G" (for example -Xmx2G) part in the existing JVM arguments with "-Xmx8G" or more. \\ This is not "the more the better", you should consider the total amount of RAM installed on your computer and leave at least 4 GiBs to spare. (It is recommended to join with a computer with at least 16 GiBs of RAM.)

-===== Additional Mods =====
+These are several mods that can enhance the gaming experience, but they are not directly installed by default because people may have different preferences. Click on each item to view its features. Please choose according to your preference and check the box in front of the mods you want to install.
-The pack only contains the basic stuff needed to join our server, leaving you more space for customizing your experience. To install additional mods, simply drop them into the mods folder. The updater knows which files are added by you and won't delete them.
+You can also later come back to install or remove them in the future, by clicking "Optional mods..." after starting the game.
-The pack already contains optimization mods including Sodium and Iris. \\
+===== Joining the Server =====
-You might be interested in adding some quality-of-life mods for a smoother experience. As a tip, here are a few mods that might be useful, you can choose as per your preference.

 ===== Moving your previous stuff over =====
@@ Line 84: / Line 94: @@
 In case you've been previously playing and want to keep your Map, Distant Horizons data etc., simply move the associated folders inside ''%%.minecraft%%'' over. These might include ''%%Distant_Horizons_server_data%%'', ''%%XaeroWorldMap%%'', ''%%XaeroWaypoints%%'', etc.
+===== Troubleshooting =====
+Sometimes when attempting to join the Let's Play Server, you may encounter some errors, especially on your first attempt. Below are some common situations.
+====Registry remapping failed====
+This error occurs when a mod required for joining the server has not been installed correctly. In many cases, the [[mtr_letsplay:modpack|Modpack]] has not been installed correctly or a mod has downloaded incorrectly, so please check the installation procedure again.
+====Connection reset====
+This error generally occurs when the socket connection is closed by the other side. To resolve this, please check your internet and firewall settings, or try reconnecting after a while.
+====Please update your Resource Pack Updater (You are now using N/A)====
+You have not properly set up packwiz, this is usually because the JVM arguments were not added. Try following the guide again and look for the part that tells you to add Java arguments to your installation.
+====Invalid Session====
+This can sometimes be resolved by restarting Minecraft and the launcher as instructed by the error.
+====Failed to resolve username====
+You are either using a cracked Minecraft launcher, which cannot connect to the server and is against rule 6, or your launcher isnt properly logged into your Minecraft account, usually due to a bad login token. Please try logging out and then logging back in.
+====Disconnected, server closed====
+The Let's Play Server restarts every day at 20:00 UTC. You will be notified via chat about 5 minutes in advance. Please wait for a while and then reconnect.
