I want to use the following versions of discord.js for my discord bot:

discord.js v11.6.4 discord.js v12.4.1

I've tried installing each of them one after the other but to no avail.

first
npm i discord.js@11.6.4
then
npm i discord.js@12.4.1

Is there a way to distinct discordv11 from v12 in the package.json and use both modules in one bot?

discord.js discord node.js javascript

You need to use npm's aliases feature (note that its only available from npm v6.9.0)

npm install discord.js11@npm:discord.js@11.6.4
npm install discord.js12@npm:discord.js@12.4.1

then you can access it as

const discord11 = require('discord.js11')
const discord12 = require('discord.js12')

Also I don't know why your using discord.js v11, v12 should have full coverage and more, your probably better off using just djs v12

Open your package.json and add:

"dependencies": {
   "DiscordJS11": "npm:discord.js@11.6.4",
   "DiscordJS12": "npm:discord.js@12.4.1"
}

Then do:

npm install

This seems to be a bad practice. Imagine there are breaking changes in DiscordJs 11 to 12 with DiscordAPI. I guess you want to work with new features from v12, maybe it's better to compromise with existing stuff or rewrite v11 code to v12. I hope there aren't much of any breaking changes in v11 to v12, v13 had a lot of breaking changes though

You can install discord.js-v11 and discord.js-v12 packages in npm.

In terminal/cmd:

npm install discord.js-v11

In the code:

const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js-v11');
// code...

It also works with V12. Just write v12 instead of v11.
