So I play on 1.8 and 1.16 and I dont want the controls to be messed up when switching versions so I changed the directory of the file to a new folder name 1.8.9 (btw I made this file to put in the version). I am trying to install optifine and I set the directory to the 1.8.9 file but for some reason it says it couldnt find 1.8.9. How can I install optifine if the directory has been changed for the 1.8.9 version? Also sorry if I posted it in the wrong place cuz i dont know too much about this.
Inside your .minecraft-folder create a new folder for your game-files - like "1.8.9-modded"
Install Optifine as usual (don't change any paths)
At Installation choose Optifine as version
and the 1.8.9-modded folder as directory
Yes I did that I renamed it to 1.8.9 modded and the optifine directory I set it to the 1.8.9-modded folder but its saying that 1.8.9 not found I need to manually install it first when I already did that

Test it with loading Optifine with Forge
Install Forge for 1.16 and 1.8.9
Don't change the Path
Create a 1.8.9 and 1.16 profile for each forge version (don't set a game path)
At .minecraft/mods/ put your Optifine 1.16.jar in.
Inside /mods/ create a 1.8.9-folder and move Optifine 1.8.9 in it (.minecraft/mods/1.8.9/ )
alright thx for ur help
