Let’s break down the simple steps to switch Minecraft versions, whether you’re craving the nostalgia of earlier versions or eager to dive into the latest updates.

Quick Steps to Switch Minecraft Versions

Switching between Minecraft versions is a breeze. First, you need to open the Minecraft Launcher, which is where all the magic happens. If you don’t have it yet, download it from the official Minecraft website.

Once the launcher is open, select ‘Installations’ from the top menu. Here, you can see all your current installations and versions. To add a new one, simply click ‘New’ and pick the version you want to play from the dropdown menu. Don’t forget to name it, then hit ‘Create’. Voila! You’ve successfully added a new version.
