How to change the default monitor on Wayfire?

I'm using Wayfire and I can't seem to find out where to change the default monitor on Wayfire.
Tho I found a workaround and that's to turn off the monitors except the primary which I want to set to the default and turn them back on.
I managed to reconfigure my ordering and wlr-randr outputs:

$ wlr-randr

primary monitor

For what?

I thought that a primary monitor doesn't make sense with wayland, but I don't remember why.

Isn't the primary monitor the focused monitor/the one with the mouse on it?

As starting apps OR even starting Minecraft in full screen makes it launch on the secondary. And if its the focused monitor is there a way to turn that off?

Minecraft is likely to run with xwayland. You should be able to modify the correct logical xwayland screen with xrandrs --primary option if wayfire doesn't set this itself correctly
