Since the release of the new launcher we are able to play multiple versions of minecraft. The problem is: If you have minecraft 1.6.x with forge installed and for example minecraft 1.5.2 also with forge they both use the same "mods" folder.

 

My question is: Can I change the directory from which forge loads mods and if yes, then how can I do it?

Hi

Yes that will work but only for 1.6 forge and higher.

 

What you must to do if you want to use forge 1.5.2 and 1.6.x ?

 

It doesnt work with 1.5.2 you you name in the mods folder a folder 1.5.2  ;)

Profiles in the launcher have custom directory options for a reason.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

FML will also load mods from mods/{version} with {version} being the minecraft version.

Example for 1.6.2:

mods/1.6.2/MODS_GO_HERE.

 

Does this also work for the Config folder? And the Saves folder? That way I can have instances with separate jar mods, folder mods and mod configs. Changing the directory in the launcher will create different instances which use the same jar/json file so this subfolder in mods and config would make a better solution.

 

Edit: I've created a mods/version/ map and dragged a mod in there but it didn't load that mod untill I dragged it to the mod folder itself. I'm running MC 1.6.2. Did I do something wrong?

@LexManos: I tried that already, but the created instance with that method does not have it's own jar/json file, so it can't have its own jar mods. Thats why the solution in this quote sounded good to me. But if that doesn't work then I just have to wait and look for another solution. Thanks anyway!

For jar mods {which you should NEVER DO ANYMORE} you need to add a new versions folder.

And then select it using the 'Use Version' in the profile.

 

The mods/{mcversion} works, but it doesnt split everything off like you want.

That is, quite literally what 'Game Directory' is for -.- Moving shit out of the standard folder.

mods/{mcversion} is NOT DESIGNED for incompatible mod sets as it doesnt move the worlds

It doesnt change the config folder

it doesn't change what jar launches the game

it simple is a place where you can put MINECRAFT version specific mods.

 

Anyways, don't use jar mods if the official answer you're gunna get.

Thanks for the official answer. I hope my favorite mod (spc) will one day also be a mods folder mod and then your solution (separate folder without jar/json) will be best. For now, making different versions AND different instances depending on the different versions will make things unneccessary complicated, so I'll keep it like I had it. Thanks for your quick reply and all info!

    • Hi, I made this mod, inspired by my friends and various loud streamers, and it's perfect for YouTubers who want a little extra pizzaz when they scream in their videos.   The mod works by detecting a high sound level (which you can configure) through your computer’s audio input. Once the sound threshold is reached, your player character will instantly explode! It doesn't use any external APIs; it just relies on the built-in javax sampled package. Check it out!    
    • Good day, I know this is years later and I hate to necropost but I ran into this exact same issue today and yours was the only one that popped up in my search. Turns out my file system permissions were all kinds of messed up in my minecraft directory. Here's how I fixed it: 1. Open terminal 2. Navigate to the .minecraft directory using the cd command, it can be helpful to have your file explorer open next to your terminal if you're a more visual person like me 3. On my OS (PopOS) the folders with messed up permissions had a padlock on them 4. Ran the command  sudo chmod a+rwx [fileName] I also ran  sudo chmod 777 [fileName] and got the same results with both. However it turns out a lot of my sub folders were messed up too which meant I had to make the changes recursively, which in plain English means all of the sub-folders under the directory. So I ended up running the command  sudo chmod -R 777 [fileName] which then changed all of the subfolders and files and ended up saving me a LOT of time doing it one at a time like the first two commands do. 5. After fixing permissions in the various subfolders ran the installer with the command java -jar [latestForgeInstallerNameGoesHereWithoutSquareBrackets] 6. Installed and launched without a hitch! Hope this helps new Linux users as for most advanced users this breakdown isn't very helpful, I'm still learning a ton myself. Additional note that might clear up future confusion, do not include [ or ] in your commands that I've listed here, I just use [ and ] in my personal notes to denote that I need to put something from the file system in the command. If yours was anything like mine all of the files from /de/oceanlabs/mcp/mcp_config/1.18-20211130.085255/mcp_config-1.18-20211130.085255-mappings.txt all had the wrong permissions. -Zamorakphat
    • hi fellas I remember back when I was in high school and had way more time to develop mods, there were tons of active posts, and while the documentation wasn’t always super extensive, you could always find someone to help you out with your questions or see someone else’s threads that were really informative. But lately, I’ve noticed that the forum seems pretty empty compared to how it used to be. I’m wondering, is there a specific reason for this? Is it just that the community has moved to other platforms, like Discord? It feels like a lot of the knowledge base and conversations have shifted over there. I’m just curious to hear others’ thoughts on this, and if anyone knows why the forum has become quieter, I’d love to know! Thanks!
