Profiles

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#

1. Open Profiles, mods and modpacks in the sidebar.
2. Click New profile.
3. Give it a name, pick the version and the mod loader.
4. 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.
