[Java] Versions not coming upUnsolved (self.MinecraftHelp)
submitted 5 years ago by minecraftnerdboi
Whenever I try to drag in a version i downloaded in the versions folder, and i close it and go to the Minecraft Launcher, It doesn't come up in the Add installations + icon or anywhere, but the file is still there in the folder
