Mincraft 1.8 has been out for nearly three months as of this tutorial, for example, but the majority of multiplayer servers are still running 1.7.*. If you play online most multiplayer servers typically don't immediately update to the most current version as it is a huge headache for server owners to perform major updates. If you want to preserve an older world you created without risking that world experiencing corruption or update problems when you move to a newer version of Minecraft, you'll need to lock the profile to the older version. Here are but a few examples of why you might need or want to manage your version number.

This is just a warning, it does not affect your gameplay in anyway, and you can still activate and enjoy the pack by simply clicking the "Yes" button when prompted.For other players, however, managing your version number (and creating separate profiles for different purposes) is an important component of the Minecraft experience. QUICK TIP: Sometimes, when activating a pack, the game may say that the pack is made for a newer or older version of Minecraft.
