### Prepair launcher

This follows the steps for PrismLauncher as example. You might need to adjust the steps for your launcher.

1. Create a new profile with the following inputs:
    - Minecraft version: `1.7.10`
    - Modloader: `Forge`
    - Modloader version: `10.13.4.16.14`
2. Edit the previously created instance, goto "Settings" and adjust the following options:
    - RAM (min & max): `5120` MiB
    - Java installation
        1. Enable the checkbox "Java installation"
        2. Download the correct Java version: "Java download" -> "Adoptium" -> untick "Recommended" -> choose "Java 25" -> Choose the latest version at the top -> click "Download".
        3. Click on "Auto detection" and select the correct Java installation.
    - Java arguments: Enable the checkbox "Java arguments" and paste the following arguments into the textbox: \
`-XX:+OptimizeStringConcat -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+DisableExplicitGC`
3. Start Minecraft once to initialize the folder structure. Minecraft will crash due to the modern Java version, just ignore that.
4. Close the launcher completely.
