 ## Switching Versions
-This branch support 5 built versions:
- - 1.19
- - 1.18.2
- - 1.18.1 (which also runs on 1.18)
- - 1.17.1 (which also runs on 1.17)
- - 1.16.5 (which also runs 1.16.4)
 
 To switch between active versions, change `mcVer=1.?` in `gradle.properties` file.
 
-If running on IDE, to ensure IDE pickup the changed versions, you will need to run a gradle command again to allow gradle to update all the libs. (In IntellJ you will also need to do a gradle sync again if it didn't start it automatically.)
+If running in an IDE, to ensure the IDE noticed the version change, run a gradle command to prompt gradle into updating the libs. (In IntellJ you will also need to do a gradle sync if it didn't happen automatically.)
->Note: There may be a `java.nio.file.FileSystemException` thrown on running the command after switching versions. To fix it, either restart your IDE (as your IDE is locking up a file) or use tools like LockHunter to unlock the linked file. (Often a lib file under `common\build\lib` or `forge\build\lib` or `fabric\build\lib`).
