Mcreator reinstallation help, accidentally updated and now it is totally broken

Hello! My son accidentally updated mcreator, which uninstalled his working version. During the installation it gave repeated errors that it couldn’t find certain dll files, which we ignored on the advice of previous threads on the mcreator forums, but when launched it says it required java runtime environment 25.0.0. Our Java is updated to the latest version, but I also went and installed that past version it lists, which changed nothing. I also redownloaded the past version of mcreator that worked for him before but that gave the same dll errors during installation and won’t launch anything, not even a JRE error.

Would anyone be willing to troubleshoot with me? I know just enough about computers to function fairly well, but not nearly enough to fix this. Thanks.

Pump park

Can you ride manual scooters at the pump park or is it just bike permitted? I have an 8 year old who never took to riding bikes but my 10 year old would love the park. I don’t want the younger one to feel left out if I take both kids.

Small black beetle in NC kitchen — pretty sure it’s not a weevil.

What is this bug? I’m seeing them in the kitchen of the house we’re moving into, which has been vacant for a year. Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It doesn’t look like a weevil. Super tiny, maybe a 1.5mm.

Help with fire place in our new home

We purchased a home built in 1979 that has fireplaces in two rooms, only one chimney. So I guess they are connected? I'm brainstorming reasons for this but also trying to compensate for the unnecessary loss of space. Is there a way we can wall up the white fireplace without consequences? And would it be feasible to also convert the brick fireplace to a pellet stove? I am not a fan of wood fire fireplaces, but we don't have gas connection to the property and I don't want to bother with a propane tank.
