Choose the Mod Loader Version You Want
Installing mod loaders is now more flexible. Instead of automatically selecting a build, the launcher lets you choose from the versions available for your selected Minecraft release.
Supported installers
Clearer version labels
Special builds are easier to recognize before installation: recommended, latest, preview
Forge identifies recommended and latest builds, while OptiFine clearly marks preview releases.
How to use it
You remain in control of the exact mod-loader build installed, while the launcher only shows versions compatible with your selected Minecraft release.
