vilq88 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
321mir Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 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 Greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexManos Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Profiles in the launcher have custom directory options for a reason.

AylaAsperger Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 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?

Example for 1.6.2: mods/1.6.2/MODS_GO_HERE. @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!

LexManos Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 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. Quote I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

AylaAsperger Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
