As an idea, this looks fine for me. It could be argued this should be on the actual home page instead of the docs, but that's not the point here.

Structurally, while I understand your idea, I have a few complaints.

• The initial article should list all steps: Installing Java, checking if Java installed correctly, creating a client/server installation, and the FAQ should all be at least mentioned in this article - they can still link out if needed.
  • In my opinion, this should be three articles: The main article, a separate article for Installing Java, and an FAQ article. Maybe also a server installation article. Client installation should really not require a separate article.
• The "Join the Discord to get help in #user-support" message should ideally be near the top of the article. It also does not mandate a separate one-paragraph article imo.

A few other things as well, please:

• Open a PR, a draft one if you want. This is so we can enable site previews, making it easier to read.
• Everything that isn't about installing Java, or the run.sh/run.bat files, should be OS-agnostic. For example, in the initial article, you have three tabs stating to type java -version into some terminal. This feels bloated, the OS-specific part could really be condensed into just a list of terminal apps depending on the OS used.
• Mention the existence of the Game Directory setting in the vanilla launcher to users.
• It might also be worth mentioning the existence of mod managers/launchers (CurseForge, Modrinth, Prism, etc.) and their advantages to users.

All valid complaints.

When I first started it was just to document a few things, like jarfix.exe on Windows, installing on a headless server (where users may not be familiar with the customary --help or that --installServer is a thing) and the manual invokation of java/the installer e.g. on Linux where file associations are IME often non-existent.

But yeah, it quickly grew and in the end didn't even cover two of the three I set out to document...

• The "Join the Discord to get help in #user-support" message should ideally be near the top of the article. It also does not mandate a separate one-paragraph article imo.

Yep, by the time I repeated it the second (third?) time, I got that sense too.

Will do!

Both of those are make a lot of sense, I'll try and work up something that's more condendsed

• It might also be worth mentioning the existence of mod managers/launchers (CurseForge, Modrinth, Prism, etc.) and their advantages to users.

Yep I was thinking about covering the launcher/mod manager side. I didn't consider the "forges" (CF, MR) but that would be a good addition.

Thanks for all the feedback! I'll take that away and work on a proper PR during the week 👍

Bit delayed on this, apologies. I started the week off with a cold and IDEA edging my last nerve with its Linux-specific bugs this has slowed me down somewhat...

I'm working on the draft PR now though and will submit whatever I have by this time tomorrow night.
