as well as the Minecraft version it’s running.
47.46 -> Next, open up your Minecraft launcher

68.28 -> most likely related to your own network
connection or apps running on your Mac.

download speed as well as your server

modem in case you haven’t done this in a while.
93.6 -> Next, click on the Apple icon on the top left of
