Minecraft mod users are the worst. They'll post a screenshot of a version mismatch or dependency error that literally tells them how to resolve it and ask "hey, this mod isn't working, how do I fix it?"
Yes but they are 12
I figured that shit out when I was 12 and there were way less learning resources about it on the internet then. Fuck 'em. Someone who never has to solve their own problems without handholding is someone who will never learn to solve problems, period. IPad kids are scared of error messages and that's their problem. They've never had to troubleshoot anything before.
Though I can't blame the kids entirely. Most error messages in the modern era absolutely suck nuts. Half of them nowadays (at least on the client side) are just
"oopsie, there's been a widdle fucky wucky, sooorrrrryyyyy 💖"
With zero actionable info in it. Not even a distinction of You/We/Your ISP Has Fucked Something Up. I guess they figured (correctly) that the end user wasn't going to read it anyway so why bother, but this drives me nuts when I see it.
To be more fair to Minecraft mod users most of them are middle schoolers
