how to create multiple clients?

[zxcvbnm1230]

Hi, I have used Minecraft forge for a while and it is very useful, but I want to make a second forge client(same version) and it just overwrites the current one. How do I create it?

[zxcvbnm1230]

Rename the Forge profile that it creates, then install the 2nd one, it will then create a new "Forge" profile and leave the renamed one intact.

tried that it doesn't recognize the renamed one as a client.

How did you rename it?

I renamed the folder.

What folder?

You need to rename the profile in the launcher.

you are talking about making another profile, I am talking about making another folder client. I need to make one forge to add optifine with and one to keep normal.

Don't mess with folders, you need two different profiles, then you can use the GameDir option.

optifine I don't think works if you put it in the mods folder.

Yes, it does. Read the install instructions.

ok, I never saw that part of it before. thanks.
