+When Minecraft starts, you should see something similar to this:

+For now, close Minecraft so you can install Fabric mods. Mods must be copied to the mods folder of the Installation folder. If you did not set a custom directory for the Installation, the mods folder will be located in:
+**FINDING THE MINECRAFT MODS FOLDER**:
+**Windows**: Press Win+R and type %appdata%\.minecraft\mods and press Ok
+**Mac OS X**: In Finder, in the Go menu, select "Go to Folder" and enter ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
+**Linux**: ~/.minecraft/mods or /home/<your username>/.minecraft/mods
+If you set a custom folder for the installation, the mods folder will be located in ''mynewfabricinstallation\mods''
+Remember where your mods folder is located, from now on that folder will be referred as "the mods folder"

 ==== STEP 4: Install the Fabric API ====
-The "Installation" you just created contains the Fabric Mod Loader, you now have to install the Fabric API before being able to use most Fabric mods.
+The "Installation" you just created when you installed the Fabric Mod Loader contains no mods, you now may install the Fabric API, since many mods depend on it.
 The Fabric API is the core library for the most common hooks and intercompatibility measures utilized by mods using the Fabric toolchain.

 If that sounds too complicated just consider the Fabric API as just another mod that will be loaded by the Fabric Loader, and almost all Fabric mods depend on it, so this will be the first mod to install.
-Go to [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api/files/all|https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api/files/all]] and download the latest file for the version of Minecraft you used in the MultiMC instance you just created.
+Go to [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api/files/all|https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api/files/all]] and download the latest file for the version of Minecraft you selected when installing Fabric.
 Be aware that Curse usually is not up to date to the latest Minecraft versions, so the version indicated in the "Game Version" column may not be the real actual version of the file! Check the file name for the real Minecraft version the file is intended for.
-For example if your instance is for Minecraft 1.14.2, the correct Fabric Api file would be "[1.14.2] Fabric API 0.3.0 build 175" (there may be a newer version of the 1.14.2 Fabric Api after this tutorial was written).

-Run the Minecraft instance to make sure everything is working as expected.
+Download the file to the mods folder, or if the file downloads directly to your "Downloads" folder, copy the file to the mods folder.

-Now check out Fabric mods [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric?filter-game-version=&filter-sort=2|here]]. Download the mods to the instance mods folder. Again, check for MC versions in the actual file names, do not rely solely on the "Game Version" column. Usually older version mods will work fine in newer versions of MC/Fabric, for example 1.14 and 1.14.1 mods may work fine in 1.14.2 MC/Fabric, so feel free to test them out.

 Also be aware that some mods depend on other mods to work. When downloading a mod file, click on the file name, go to the bottom of the page and check out if there is a "Related Projects" entry with dependencies listed. You will have to download the mods listed as required dependencies and may also download the mods listed as optional dependencies.
