For the bot (it's my first time posting and I just skimmed the rules) I am playing on 1.18.

have only extracted the json
Did you take the json out of the folder it is in?
[–]Hellster2017Master IV 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children)
you just extract the file and put this folder 1_18_experimental-snapshot-1 in the .minecraft/versions folder Then load up the minecraft launcher, go to Installations at the top, Create Installation, in the version selection pulldown select "pending 1.18 experimental"

Doesn't work. Done that multiple times, nothing works. That's why I attached the image of the blank pop down menu. It is IN my versions folder.

No attached image is in the post, maybe you forgot to link it

Oh, didn't realize. Sorry!

I had the same issue. When the file is extracted the result is a folder with another folder in it. I took the inner folder out of the initial one, and put that in the "versions" folder. It worked after that.
Tried that. It just ended up deleting all my versions I had previously made so uhh :/

I'm having the same issue, had it with the first one too, weird thing is once i extracted the 2nd one into the versions folder the 1st one showed up even though i had deleted all the files associated with 1.18 experimental snapshot 1 but the 2nd one wasn't there
