+a) you must own Minecraft: Java Edition

+# Random crashes during gameplay
+Make sure you aren't getting the warning due to too much allocated RAM. Even if you are close to the limit but not breaking it, RAM allocation might still be the cause of the crash. Try allocating 100-250MB less than the maximum, depending on your device. Keep in mind that when using big modpacks, you might also be crashing because you don't have enough allocated memory (that's if you see `java.lang.OutOfMemoryError` in your log file).
+
+Highest RAM allocation doesn't mean highest performance. Your might usually gain tens of FPS by figuring out which RAM allocation setting runs Pojav the best on your device.

+# Crash when executing a jar

+This is not how it works, mods have to be installed into the **.minecraft/mods** directory. Mod loaders (e. g. Forge and Fabric) and some mods like OptiFine and Iris have an integrated installer, this is not the case for the absolute majority of mods, meaning they don't have any GUI that would run when opening them with the Execute .jar button in the launcher.

+# Installing Java runtimes manually
+
+If you for whatever reason decided to install `app-debug-noruntime` or you want to update for whatever reason, here's how you do it. 
+
+1. Go to the **android-openjdk-build-multiarch** repo on GitHub, pick the branch you want (e. g. buildjre8 or buildjre17-21.)
+2. Log into GitHub, else you won't be able to download the runtime.
+3. Click on the name of the action, then download the `pojav` version of the runtime (e. g. `jre17-pojav`). Do not download jdk, your game might crash with it.
+4. Extract the zip with your file manager. [ZArchiver](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver) and [MiXplorer](https://mixplorer.com/) are recommended.
+5. Open Pojav and go to Settings → Java Tweaks → Runtime Manager → Add new, then select the .tar.xz file you just extracted from the zip.

+	- Minecraft 1.16.5 and older: Java 8

+Note: some modded Minecraft versions require a different Java runtime than normal (e. g. Cursed Fabric or Babric for Minecraft b1.7.3). Others might work even when using a different runtime (e. g.
