-The instance 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 instance you just created contains only Fabric Loader, and 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.

-To install Mod Menu, go to [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/modmenu|https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/modmenu]] and click on "files" and download the correct version for the Minecraft MultiMC instance you just created.
+To install Mod Menu, go to its [[https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu|Modrinth]] page, and click on "versions" and download the correct version for the Minecraft version you installed, download/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 and follow the same procedure as for Fabric API. 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.
+You can now browse for Fabric mods on either [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods?filter-game-version=2020709689%3A7499&filter-sort=2|CurseForge]] or [[https://modrinth.com/mods?g=categories:%27fabric%27|Modrinth]]. Remember that you can filter by modloader and game version on both websites. Download/copy the mods to the 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. This is no longer the case with 1.19.x and above, however.
-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.
