If you haven't logged into official MC launcher before, you have to log into it first, then you can uninstall it and use Modrinth

1.20.1 and up 1.20.1 has the biggest amount of various mods 1.21.1 is a bit newer with newer vanilla content and more up to date mods, but far less mods 1.21.4 is newest that Iris and DH supports so you can't go newer then that right now, it has even less mods then 1.21.1

I'll be playing on vanilla server so other mods won't work right? ig I'll go with 1.21.4 if its stable builds

There are a lot of client side only mods and I'm not sure if all of them updated to 1.21.1 or 1.21.4
