Is your suggested enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

Often when a new snapshot comes out I want to try it, but I can't see it.

See this video from a user attempting to access the april fools snapshot today (not me)

Modrinth_App_N1kbCEhXNP.mp4

link to original message I got this video from

Of all the ways I have thought of to clear cache:

  • ctrl+shift+r to clear cache and reload
  • ctrl+shift+i disable cache in network tab and reload
  • Closing app, deleting everything in %appdata%\com.modrinth.theseus\caches\metadata that isn't user-auth related, starting app

None of them seem to fix the problem

Given this, I think it would be smart to give a more intuitive way to refresh that list.

Describe the solution you'd like

Button to refetch available minecraft versions in the instance screen's advanced controls.

the normal create instance screen, but with a refresh button to the right of the include snapshots checkbox

Describe alternatives you've considered

Automatically refresh versions upon checking the "Include Snapshots" box
