[Suggestion] Choose what modpack versions should be installed for Twitch/Curse packs

[OakBricks-old]

Role

I want to use other versions of twitch modpacks (especially if the modpack creator uses different minecraft versions for different modpack releases)

Suggestion

add a way to choose what modpack version you want for twitch/curseforge

Benefit

So that if (PLAYER) want to use (X) version of modpack (Y) but the latest zip is for minecraft version (X) and the modpack supports versions (A) - (Z), tldr, MMC downloads the latest and sometimes greatest from curse which can be an issue if the modpack creator uploaded a zip for an older version of minecraft

This suggestion is unique

• I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my suggestion, especially not one that has been rejected.

This is what the launcher give me (i want the 1.16.5 version)

latest one (for 1.16.5)

this is the one I want (manually downloaded from curse)

It is known that generally modpacks are extremely slow to update, hence the mods that are in the pack (usually) need to be updated, the person playing the pack (with the mod that has been updated/fixed with whatever known bug by the dev) encounters a bug, then complains to the mod author.

No, modpacks should be the most current versions because of this.

If its curse/twitch (ie from curseforge) then manually downloading the zip and importing it is still an option and isn't needed for the Twitch section that is now part of v0.6.12

I disagree.

I came here just to ask for this. It'd make server stuff a lot easier for me because some servers use older versions of packs
