Installing Client Mods

Fabric Launcher

Used for 1.14+ clients

1. Download the Fabric Installer Jar for [current version]
   • Click the button that says VANILLA
   • Choose the build you want (tested on 0.5.2.39 but the most recent should work)
   • Click Download Installer (Windows/.EXE) for windows; or Download Installer (Universal/.JAR) for Mac
2. Download the Fabric API
3. Download the desired mods
4. Find the Fabric Installer jar file and double click it
   • select the version of minecraft you want to run and click INSTALL, this will create a new minecraft profile
5. Copy your mods and the Fabric API to the following folder:

   Windows: %appdata%.minecraft/mods

   Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods

   MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods

6. Open your minecraft launcher and run the FABRIC profile thats been created

NOTE: Mod files must be in the /mods/ folder to be read, not in any subfolder (i.e. split by versions). If you have mods from multiple versions/launchers you'll have to add/remove them as necessary to launch. You *can* put them into a subfolder and fabric will ignore them.

Forge

Forge is updated through 1.15.2

1. Using a fresh profile, open Minecraft to the main menu. Then close minecraft.
2. Download the Forge installer
3. Locate the file in your downloads and run the installer (choose “install client” and hit OK)

9. Open MC and run your Forge profile
10. Choose your server and enter the game

NOTE: Mod files should be in the /mods/[version] folder to be read. If you have mods for multiple versions simply create a version folder withing /mods/ and the launcher will keep them separate.

    you can rename by clicking selecting the “Liteloader 1.11.2 and Forge 1.11.2” profile on the bottom left of your screen and hitting “Edit Profile” > enter a new name into the header > hit save

    You can delete any unneeded profiles from installation at this time as well (i.e. forge and any older versions you don’t need anymore) by clicking the Profile Editor at the top of the launcher, and right # clicking the profile you want to delete. You wont need the vanilla 1.11.2 profile or “forge” after the installation is complete.
