Ok so i have this code in my next config
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: "/",
        destination: "/software/vanilla",
      },
    ];
  },


However the rewrites dont need to be working,
Source: https://startminecraft.com/
Destination: https://startminecraft.com/software/vanilla

I want the source page to match the data of the destination page :D

          source: "/",
          destination: "/software/vanilla",
        },
