# Changing Your Version

Sometime you'll need to change your version of minecraft, like 1.19.2 for a mod pack.. So let's see how we do that! 

## Minecraft

In your start-up tab you'll see a list of "Variables" so if you just want a minecraft version like 1.15.2 you'll put 1.15.2 in the text field like so

## Forge

Okay so let's say you want a exact version of Forge Minecraft, well lets look at the[ Forge File List](https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/) there you'll see all available forge versions. For this demo, let's say we need Minecraft 1.18.2 forge version 40.1.92 you'll now go back to the Start-Up tab on the game panel and under "Forge Version" you put "1.18.2-40.1.92" like in the picture below

{% hint style="danger" %}
Back up any data on the server needed before reinstalling!&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Now go to the settings tab and click reinstall. If you made a mistake, it will fail to install
