Which Minecraft version to choose in the launcher

Table to find the right version in your Minecraft launcher:

Let’s clarify right away that x.x.x is the version of the mod loader. The newer the version, the better, except for those cases when you need a strictly defined version of the mod loader. Usually this applies to various kinds of mod assemblies.
