Remaining options on this form are determined by the egg itself. Ergo, a vanilla ''Minecraft'' egg will ask for a game version to be specified, whereas a ''Mordhau'' egg has options for the default map and maximum player slots. This inherently does not make it possible to provide assistance. Research online and/or seek help from other experienced systems operators if you struggle with that part.<br />
