 Use `hideErrors: true` in createClient options
 You may also choose to add these listeners :

+## Can you support alternative auth methods?
+
+Supporting alternative authentcation methods has been a long standing issue with Prismarine for awhile. We do add support for using your own custom authentication method by providing a function to the `options.auth` property. In order to keep the legitimacy of the project, and to prevent bad attention from Mojang, we will not be supporting any custom authentication methods in the official repositories.
+
+It is up to the end user to support and maintain the authentication protocol if this is used as support in many of the official channels will be limited.
+
+If you still wish to proceed, please make sure to throughly read and attempt to understand all implementations of the authentcation you wish to implement. Using an non-official authentication server can make you vulnerable to all different kinds of attacks which are not limited to insecure and/or malicious code! We will not be held responsible for anything you mess up.
