📋CHANGE GAME VERSION

This article details how to change your game version of Minecraft: Java Edition.

WARNING: Before changing your game version, it’s strongly recommended that you back up your worlds. If you try to play on one of your current worlds and you access that world using an older version of the game, you may permanently damage that world. It’s strongly recommended that you back up your worlds by locating them and then making a copy of your game files.

CHANGE THE GAME VERSION

  1. Launch the Minecraft Launcher

  2. Click Installations on the launcher start page, and then click New.

  3. In the Create new installation box, select a name for the installation (ex. my version 1.20.4), and choose the release 1.20.4 version from the VERSION list. Tip: if you want to optimise the desired version, you can enter parameters in a specific configuraiton in MORE OPTIONS: JVM Arguments

  4. Click Create to save the change, and then click Play on the top menu.

  5. On the launcher landing page, find your saved installation (my version 1.18.2) in the list and click it to change to that version of the game.
