About this video: We go over exactly how to change your Minecraft version in this video. Whether you want to learn how to play old Minecraft versions or how to update Minecraft Java Edition to the newest version, this video will show you exactly how to do it. This video works for modded versions as well meaning you will be able to play older Minecraft mods by changing the Minecraft version.
First things first, we are going to be starting out in the Minecraft Launcher. In the Minecraft Launcher, select the “Installations” tab at the top of the launcher. This is where all of your Minecraft installations will be managed.
Create new version/installation with the “New Installation” button. You can name a new installation anything you want. Just make sure that it is something you can use to identify the installation.
Then, click the “Release” drop-down box. This is where you will select the version to update Minecraft to. Or, if you want to play an older version of Minecraft, this is where you will select. If you are looking for a modded version, these will be here as well.
Lastly, there is the game directory setting. This can be great for modded versions. Click the “browse” feature and create a new folder. Select this folder, and you will now be able to have a new mods folder for this modded installation. Repeat this process for all of your mod installers and versions in order to be able to play old mods and mods from different mod installers without having to remove mods.
With that being said, save the version. Your new Minecraft version will be on the Installations screen. You can play your installation by hovering over it and clicking play.
You can create as many Minecraft installations as you want. This means you can change your Minecraft version in Java Edition as much as you want by simply going back to the Minecraft Launcher.
