These are tutorials of how to do things with computers.
I’ve written previously about playing Minecraft on the M1 Mac, but now I am continuing that series by showing you how to play Minecraft on Arm Windows. This tutorial only works with Minecraft 1.17 and 1.17.1, sadly. Step 1: Join the Windows Insider Program Playing Minecraft on Arm Windows requires OpenGL compatibility. To play with…
LWJGL 2 was used in older versions of Minecraft. This prevented people from optimizing Minecraft 1.7.10-1.12.2 for M1. Thanks to the work of Tanmay Bakshi and 17hoehbr on GitHub, it is now possible. This tutorial will be rather similar to How To Optimize Minecraft for M1 (Java Edition), so please follow that tutorial before doing…
This article is going to be a bit different than most Info Toast articles, as it’s aimed more towards people who know how to code and are familiar with everything that comes with coding. That being said, you probably should have several years of Java coding under your belt before you attempt this. The Spigot…
Mojang changed the internals of the game a lot in 1.17. The most important internal change they made was that they switched the minimum required Java version to Java 16.

I’ve talked before about the various problems with binary package management systems.

This tutorial shows how to use a tool that lets you debloat Windows 10. It’s a simple PowerShell script, and it’s important to do with every…
I recently purchased the MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon. However, most apps still are not yet optimized. One of the main apps I care about performing well is Minecraft. However, I have finally figured how to optimize Minecraft for M1 with the MultiMC launcher’s help. IMPORTANT NOTE: This tutorial is for 1.16.5 and below. For…
So most people in the know have probably heard of symlinks. They are the way to make one point in a filesystem refer to another. However, symlinks are sometimes glitchy and don’t work within a chroot. That’s why you can mount a directory on Linux and BSD. I figured out how to do this yesterday…
So yesterday, I discovered ZSH. It’s pretty incredible. It’s a shell, like bash or sh, but it includes tons of features like syntax highlighting error correction, and tons more. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install zsh and configure it on BSD, Linux, and Mac, so it’s as cool as I made…
