 ## Troubleshooting
 
-Simply iterating over errors one by one is a good way to fix most issues. Inside mc-source/ you are provided the latest

-generator code.
+Simply iterating over errors one by one is a good way to fix most issues. The `mc-source/` directory contains the two
+most recent Minecraft versions (e.g. `mc-source/1.21.10/` and `mc-source/1.21.11/`) plus a diff file between them.
+When searching for code, always target a specific version directory (e.g. search in `mc-source/1.21.11/` not `mc-source/`)
+to avoid clutter and confusion.
+
+Importantly, before assuming a class/method was removed, check the diff file for renames first. Renames/moves appear as:
+```
+rename from net/minecraft/world/entity/animal/WaterAnimal.java
+rename to net/minecraft/world/entity/animal/fish/WaterAnimal.java
+```
+If not found in the diff (rename detection has a 2000 file limit), search the specific version directory to locate the class.
 
 Sometimes, some APIs might change inside the mc code and make the data that the current code extracts no longer
 valid. In these cases, do your best to conform the new data to the old structure even if it feels wrong. If you
