Profiles
One profile per way of playing: its own version, mod loader, mods and worlds.
A profile is a separate Minecraft setup, like an instance in other launchers. Each profile has:
- its own version and mod loader;
- its own game folder:
mods,resourcepacks,shaderpacks,saves(worlds) and options.
Versions, libraries and assets stay shared between profiles: nothing is downloaded twice.
Create a profile
- Open Profiles, mods and modpacks in the sidebar.
- Click New profile.
- Give it a name, pick the version and the mod loader.
- Click Create profile.
To start from a ready-made set of mods, use Install a modpack instead. See Modpacks.
Play with a profile
Pick the profile in the Profile list of the home page, then click Play. Quick play uses the shared game folder, without a profile.
The profile list shows when each profile was last played (Played today, Played yesterday…).
Manage a profile
Open a profile from the list to:
- see and manage its Content, or Discover new mods, packs and shaders. See Mods, packs and shaders;
- Rename it or Change its icon;
- Open the profile folder in the Windows Explorer.
To delete a profile, use the delete button in the profile list.
Deleting a profile permanently erases its mods, packs, worlds and settings.
Where profiles live
Each profile is a folder in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Misty\instances\. See Files and folders.
