How can I prevent the settings from other versions from being deleted? (Minecraft Java)?

Sorry for the somewhat imprecise title, did not know exactly how to phrase.

If I start 1.8.9 and set a few hotkeys there and then start another version, the hotkeys are gone. When I go back to 1.8.9 everything is gone. Can I somehow avoid this? Can you set somewhere that each version uses its own config file?

You can use another launcher that stores the different profiles and settings separately. I use Twitch for this. A separate installation for each Minecraft version, for each Modpack. No problems with changing and the settings.

Are you using Twitch as an MC launcher?

Sn

Yes, the Twitch desktop app, formerly Curse, allows various Minecraft installations and simple mod installation.

Fa

Oh… I thought of twitch.tv…

Sn

Yes, Twitch.tv is the desktop app.

Fa

How lol How long has Twitch been able to launch MC…

Sn

Since you bought curseforge. A few years ago.

Ah OK thanks!
