Minecraft – You must run 1.8-pre1 on minecraft zoom mod

minecraft-java-editionmods

So I tried to get a zoom mod for Minecraft 1.8, so after i installed it i double clicked the file to start up the install wizard. But when I hit install, it cam up with this message:
"you must run the version 1.8-pre1 manually at least once"
I ran 1.8 on all of my profiles but it didnt work. I don't know what to do!

Best Answer

Not a total answer but I recommend using Optifine, which improves fps and adds an option for zoom. To change or see the zoom button:

  1. Open Minecraft.
  2. Go to 'Options'
  3. Go to 'Controls'
  4. Click the button next to the word 'zoom'
  5. Press the key you want to be your zoom button
  6. Press 'done'

You can also enable pre-release version tick in profile editor in launcher, which will make you see 1.8-pre1.
