Install using the Minecraft Launcher

STEP 1: Download the Fabric Installer

Go to https://fabricmc.net/use/ and select the “Vanilla” option, then download the Windows exe installer or the Universal JAR installer.

Close the Minecraft Launcher.

Run the Fabric Installer jar/exe you downloaded. Select the Client tab. Select the Minecraft Version and the Loader Version.

The Select Install Location should point to the Minecraft Launcher data folder.

Check Create Profile and click Install

Once the installer process is done, close the Fabric Installer.

DO NOT RUN YOUR NEWLY CREATED FABRIC INSTALLATION YET!


STEP 2: Edit the "Game Directory" of the new Fabric Installation

Open the Minecraft launcher, click on Minecraft Java Edition, click on Installations, click on the button of the Fabric Installation:

Click on Edit

Change the GAME DIRECTORY to point to any folder location you want, different from <Use default directory>

Click Save

You can now launch the Fabric Installation.


NOTES

If you don't change the GAME DIRECTORY the Fabric Installation will share its saved worlds with all the other Installations that have the game directory set to default. It will also share the mods and config folder with other modded Installations you may have that have the game directory set to default, making things an absolute mess.

You may set the GAME DIRECTORY to any folder you want, but it may be a good idea to use a folder inside your user profile for example:

userprofile\minecraft-installations\fabric-1.14.2 for a MC 1.14.2 Fabric Installation

Where userprofile is the path of the actual location of your userprofile, usually C:\Users\yourusername

Where yourusername is your actual user name, for example James or Anna or MadMax.
