Hello everyone, I recently got a new PC and installed Java Edition again. All seems to be fine, other than the mods? I hadn't played Minecraft for a while, so when I downloaded the launcher on my new PC I noticed it has changed, notably there is an 'modded' filter for looking through/installing game versions. But, when I look for any Forge or Optifine versions, they aren't on the list of installable versions. Yes, I have ticked the 'modded' filter, before you ask me if I've done that. But, oddly, if I go back to my old PC, I'm able to install the modded versions just fine- they're on the list of installable games. So I'm not sure if this is a problem with my PC in particular or is it an issue with the launcher in general? Whatever it is, please help!

Modded versions are stored locally on your system - if you reinstall Minecraft there are only the official versions available
Reinstall forge and mods or copy the .minecraft-folder from the old PC and overwrite the folder on your current PC
