• Any non-standard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.

• Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.

• If you have problems on large servers, such as The Hive and Hypixel, please contact them first as they run modified server software.
