Update Versions

Add a feature that allows you to update a profile to a newer version. Give a warning about world corruption, and/or create a backup of said profile. You would click a button in profile options, which would update it to the desired newer version, with the same modloader (Forge/Fabric/etc), and update any mods to said version where applicable, while removing mods that hadn't been updated. It would also tell you which mods were removed/couldn't update when the process is complete. This is a needed feature because we have to physically write or type a list of mods a profile has, create a new profile for the desired version, then click hundreds of buttons to add them back to an updated profile.

Side-note: With modern versions of Minecraft, world corruption isn't that big of an issue as long as you are updating to a newer version, which is why this feature would only allow you to update to a version higher than the current.

      A "Profile Version Updater" feature would streamline updating Minecraft profiles to newer versions. It would offer a version selector, automatically check for compatible mod updates (using mod repositories), warn about world corruption and prompt for a backup, update Minecraft and compatible mods, and remove incompatible ones, providing a completion report. This would save time, reduce errors, improve accessibility, and encourage safer updates for modded Minecraft players.
