I am trying to launch the game, but it returns an error. How do I fix this?

portablemc: error: unrecognized arguments: --work-dir fabric:1.20.1

--work-dir is a global argument and needs to come before start as per the first line of https://github.com/mindstorm38/portablemc?tab=readme-ov-file#commands. Likewise, -u is an arg and needs to come after the start command.

The correct command would be python -m portablemc --work-dir X:\Desktop\supahlaunchah\splauncher\instances\aaa start fabric:1.20.1 -u aaa

Ohhhhh
Thanks
