How do I change the Minecraft version I play on?

Various mods or maps from the community may require you to play on a specific or older version of Minecraft.

Fortunately, thanks to the Minecraft launcher, you can easily create another installation for a different game version and then switch between them at any time.

  • open the Minecraft launcher on your PC
  • select the “Installation”-tab at the top of the launcher
  • click on “New Installation”
  • Enter a name for the Installation (e.g. the name of the Map or Mod you want to use)
  • click on the drop down menu below and select the Minecraft version you need
  • finally click on the “Create” button on the bottom right

Now you can already see the newly created installation in the list and you could click the “Play” button there.

In the “Play” tab, you can also find the new installation in the small drop-down menu.
