Download Prism Launcher and install it.

Open Prism Launcher and sign in with your Microsoft account.

Click Add Instance → Import → pick the zip file from Step 1. Click OK and wait 1-2 minutes for everything to download.

Click Multiplayer → Add Server → paste crofton-server.minecraft.cexe.ai → Done → Join!
