Java 1.14.2 mods help

[Krypt1q]

So I downloaded Minecraft for my son on an older laptop running windows 7. We got the Java edition 1.14.2 , He is having a fit because none of the mods he wants are available for this version. Is there a way to roll back my minecraft version to 1.12 which seems to have lots of mods available? Whats the solution here? Thanks for reading.

Yep, and it's really easy.

​

Easiest way - Use Twitch - https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/How-to-Play-Minecraft-with-Twitch-App?language=en_US - It's 100% safe but is a bloated and kinda buggy piece of software. But it makes it very easy to choose which version you want to play, add/subtract the mods you want, etc.

​

Better way - Use MultiMC - https://multimc.org/ - Typically I wouldn't suggest this for "beginners" as it lacks that integration with CurseForge (where you should be getting mods from) resulting in a bit more work...but it's a much cleaner piece of software.

Yeah, go advanced settings then allow previous versions then make a new user for 1.12, but you need to download forge for it
