A profile informs the game of what version you are playing. There is no limit to the number of profiles you can have.
It is helpful to name it something you can easily remember. For example, if you are creating a profile for version 1. 2. 7, name it 1. 2. 7.
Right-click the desktop, scroll over “New” at the bottom, and select “Folder. Right-click the folder and choose “Rename” at the bottom of the drop-down menu. Name the folder “Old Versions. ” Back in the Profile Editor, click the “Game Directory” check box underneath the profile name. This will allow you to change the default directory. Replace the portion of the directory that reads “AppData\Roaming. minecraft” with “Desktop\Old Versions. ” Now the profile information will be stored in a safe location on the desktop.
You may get a pop-up warning that older versions may cause harm to your files, but since you’ve already protected your files, simply click “Yes” in the bottom left.
