I am using the new launcher to set up a 1.4.7 profile for older mods. I created the jar, json, profile, a /.minecraft-1.4.7 folder, and set the profile to use this folder. I put /mods in the /.minecraft-1.4.7 folder. when I try to launch this profile the "mojang" screen goes black right after a /.minecraft-1.4.7/battlemusic folder gets created. Battle Music is a mod i have in my default /.minecraft/mods folder that i use for 1.6.2, which means it is loading mods from the wrong folder.

Basically my question is how do i get forge to load only the 1.4.7 mods, not the 1.6.2 mods?

EDIT: typo in the title. moderator pls fix Fixed by an awesome mod called webrosc

i believe with the new launcher you can edit the profile and near the top of the setting is an option to set the game directory, default is c:\blah blah\.minecraft
change it to .minecraft2 and put the mods in there

I know that. Why would it create a /.minecraft-1.4.7/battlemusic folder if it wasn't using that directory? The problem is that it also loads my mods from the default directory.

EDIT: thanks for fixing the typo

Bump. I still need help

Ah sorry i missed that you did that already, thought it would work that way.
Have you tried using a completely different folder, like on desktop, away from the .minecraft folder?

I just tried it, no luck =/

Im thinking it might be the way older forge versions work, do you know anything about that?

Bump. Help please

Well, I don't have a fix for this, however, a work around is to move the mods(the ones you don't want loaded) into another folder, then when you are done, move them back(I recommend having 2 folders, one for the new mods and one for the old ones)
