Message after installing

Minecraft requires LWJGL (the Lightweight Java Game Library) to run.
Mojang hosts prebuilt LWJGL shared objects for Windows, macOS, and Linux,
which MultiMC is written to download and add to a new instance. The FreeBSD
port of MultiMC is patched to use the system LWJGL instead, to work around the
lack of a Mojang-provided binary for FreeBSD.

From version 1.13, Minecraft requires LWJGL 3 to run, but presently the latest
version in the Ports Collection is 2.9.3. In order to run Minecraft 1.13
instances in MultiMC, LWJGL 3 will have to be ported, and ideally MultiMC should
be patched to use version 2 or 3 depending on the Minecraft version of a given instance.
This is planned for the future, but as of now it is only possible to play versions
up to 1.12.x with this port.
