-====== Installing Fabric using the MultiMC launcher ====== +Moved to: [[player:tutorials:install_multimc:windows|Install Fabric - MultiMC]]
- +
-MultiMC is a free, open source launcher for Minecraft. It allows you to have multiple, cleanly separated instances of Minecraft (each with their own mods, texture packs, saves, etc) and helps you manage them and their associated options with a simple and powerful interface. +
- +
-**STEP 1Install MultiMC** +
- +
-Download and install MultiMC from [[https://multimc.org/|here]]. If you are on Windows, extract and move the MultiMC folder inside the zip you downloaded to the root folder of your Cdrive, so you end up with MultiMC installed on C:\MultiMC. +
- +
-**STEP 2: Create a new Fabric Minecraft instance in MultimMC** +
- +
-Go to [[https://fabricmc.net/use/|https://fabricmc.net/use/]] and select the "MultiMC" option, select mapping and loader versions. Generally, choosing the latest mapping version for a given game version is recommended. Take note of the Minecraft version you choose (for example "1.14.1"), you will need that information later. +
- +
-Click on "Copy MultiMC instance url": +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_04.jpg?direct&600|}} +
- +
-Now that you have copied the instance url, open MultiMC (C:\MultiMC\MultiMC.exe). Click the "Add Instance" button on the MultiMC toolbar: +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_01.jpg?direct|}} +
- +
-Select "Import from zip" on the left, and paste the instance link you just copied in the textbox: +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_02.jpg?direct&600|}} +
- +
-Edit the instance name and then click "OK" to create the instance: +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_03.jpg?direct&600|}} +
- +
-Now run the instance you just created so MultiMC will download the appropiate Minecraft and library files and create the actual instance folder. After checking that Minecraft starts and everything is fine, close the Minecraft instance for now. +
- +
-**STEP 3: Install the Fabric API** +
- +
-The instance you just created contains the Fabric Mod Loader, you now have to install the Fabric API before being able to use Fabric mods. +
- +
-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 to complicated just consider the Fabric API as a 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://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/fabric|https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/fabric]] and click on "files" and download the correct version for the Minecraft MultiMC instance you just created. +
- +
-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 to. +
- +
-For example if you created the MultiMC instance for MC 1.14.1, the correct Fabric Api file would be "[1.14.1] Fabric API 0.3.0-pre build 157a" (there may be a newer version of the 1.14.1 Fabric Api after this tutorial was written). +
- +
-Download the jar file to the instance mods folder. For example if MultiMC is located in "C:\MultiMC" and your instance name is "FABRIC-1.14.1" then the instance mods folder will be located in "C:\MultiMC\instances\FABRIC-1.14.1\.minecraft\mods" +
- +
-Run the Minecraft instance to make sure everything is working as expected. +
- +
-** STEP 4: Install Fabric Mods** +
- +
-Check out Fabric mods [[https://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/fabric?filter-sort=2|here]] or [[https://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods?filter-game-version=1738749986%3A64806&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 mods may work fine in 1.14.1 MC/Fabric, so feel free to test them out. +
- +
-**STEP 5: HAVE FUN!** +
