How do I stop the Minecraft launcher from warning me about using modified Minecraft installs

Question

The Minecraft launcher recently updated to add support for Microsoft accounts, it also changed the background and added a warning when I hover over modified profiles in the selection tab (This installation has been modified and might not support the latest player safety features.). I always use the Fabric modloader and I don't care about not having access to the "latest player safety features" and I've kinda had enough of Minecraft nagging me every time I switch versions when I want to play on different servers. I am not going to accept "Stop using mods" as an answer, as I do not intend to do so. I have searched across google for answers but haven't been able to find information regarding this anywhere.

Go to the .minecraft folder in %appdata% and open the launcher_profiles.json file.
Scroll to the desired profile name (e.g. Optifine).
Then change the "type" to "Void-Null". Then restart the Minecraft launcher with beta mode enabled in the settings.
Example of mine when done:
"OptiFine" : {
      "created" : "2020-08-27T07:48:53.976Z",
      "icon" : "Grass",
      "javaArgs" : "-Xmx10G -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M",
      "lastUsed" : "2020-12-02T18:16:50.180Z",
      "lastVersionId" : "1.16.4",
      "name" : "OptiFine",
      "type" : "Void-Null"
}
