+===== General =====
+==== What launchers can I use to play with Fabric mods (on a custom/home-assembled modpack)? ====
+As of 30th June, the following launchers are available for this:
+  * MultiMC - a guide is available [[tutorial:install_with_multimc|here]]; newest development builds also include an "Install Fabric" button.
+  * Vanilla - an installer is available on Fabric's download page.
+We recommend MultiMC due to its superior user experience for modded environments.

+As of 30th June, the following launchers are available for this:
+  * MCUpdater - [[tutorial:mcupdater_modpacks|guide]]
+  * Technic (Solder) - [[tutorial:technic_modpacks|guide]]
+  * ATLauncher - [[tutorial:atlauncher_modpacks|guide]]
+  * MultiMC/Vanilla - you can always export a modpack or use a ZIP file!

   * There were some experiments and discussions done in this regard (as of 30th June), but nothing usable by end users or mod developers.
-The development team does not consider Forge interop a high-priority goal, as our focus is on supporting the Fabric community and its developers and users.

 ==== Can Fabric run together with OptiFine? ====
 Not officially. However, unofficial mods exist to faciliate the launching of OptiFine for 1.14+ on Fabric. Your mileage may vary, however.
+==== Oh no! I've tried enabling shaders on OptiFine and my world looks all weird! ====
+Fabric's rendering patches, while as minimally invasive as possible, make some assumptions about the data format used internally by the vanilla rendering system. Shaders break this assumption, so things go awry. Workarounds do exist and are implemented by the most recent versions of said unofficial mods.
+**DO NOT** downgrade Fabric API as a workaround for this. It's a bad idea.
