Looking for some support here for my 9 year old son.
We are trying to install an older version of MC (1.16.2) and the Necromancy Mod.
I have created an new folder in the .minecraft folder called Necro.
I have it set to install MC in the Necro folder.
Then we launched MC and it downloaded into the Necro folder.
Next, we tried to launch Forge (the appropriate version downloaded from the Forge website for this version of MC) however, when I select the Necro folder i get the following error message: the directory is missing a launcher profile. please run the minecraft launcher first
So not sure where to go from here.
I even copied the launcher_profiles.json file into the Necro folder to see if I could trick it but no luck.
Any assistance anyone is able to offer would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
Install forge in the main directory - so keep the default path with the installation of forge
With creating a new profile, select the forge version
and the directory of your custom folder
Then start the forge profile without any files in your custom folder
After that you will find the new folders like config and mods - then put your jar into mods
