-====== 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 1: Install MultiMC ==== +
- +
-Download and install MultiMC from [[https://multimc.org/|here]]. If you are on Windows, you can extract and move the MultiMC folder inside the zip you downloaded to the root folder of your C: drive, so you end up with MultiMC installed on C:\MultiMC, or use any other location to unzip the MultiMC folder. +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== STEP 2: Create a new Fabric Minecraft instance in MultimMC 0.6.6 or higher versions ==== +
- +
-Open MultiMC and configure it using the setup steps. Click the ''Add Instance'' button on the MultiMC toolbar: +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_01.jpg?direct|}} +
- +
-Enter a name for the instance and select a Minecraft version, then click ''OK'' +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_101.jpg?direct|}} +
- +
-Now with the instance selected, click on the ''Edit Instance'' button on the right: +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_102.jpg?direct|}} +
- +
-Now click on ''Install Fabric'' +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_103.jpg?direct|}} +
- +
-Select the Fabric Loader version and click ''OK'' +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_104.jpg?direct|}} +
- +
-Check that the Intermediary Mappings for the Minecraft Version of the Instance and the Fabric Loader are listed. Click ''Close'' +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_105.jpg?direct|}} +
- +
-Now run the instance you just created so MultiMC will download the appropiate Minecraft and library files and create the instance subfolders. +
- +
-Check that Minecraft/Fabric starts and everything is fine: +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_06.jpg?direct&600|}} +
- +
-Close the Minecraft instance for now. +
- +
-Skip to **STEP 3**. +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== STEP 2A: Create a new Fabric Minecraft instance in older versions of MultimMC < 0.6.6 ==== +
- +
-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 "1.14.2"), 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 into 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 instance subfolders. +
- +
-Check that Minecraft/Fabric starts and everything is fine: +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_06.jpg?direct&600|}} +
- +
-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 most 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 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. +
- +
-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). +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_05.jpg?direct&600|}} +
- +
-Download the jar file to the instance mods folder. +
- +
-**MultiMC** +
- +
-For example if MultiMC is located in "C:\MultiMC" and your instance name is "FABRIC-1.14.2" then the instance mods folder will be located in "C:\MultiMC\instances\FABRIC-1.14.2\.minecraft\mods" +
- +
-The paths ''C:\MultiMC'' and ''C:\MultiMC\instances\FABRIC-1.14.2\.minecraft\mods'' are used as examples, the actual path in your own computer will probably be different: +
- +
-''//path-where-you-unzipped-multimc//\MultiMC\instances\//the-name-of-your-instance//\mods'' +
- +
-**Minecraft Launcher** +
- +
-Download the file to the mods folder of the Game Directory of the Installation you created. Remember that you changed the Installation Game Directory in **STEP 2** +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_09.jpg?direct&600|}} +
- +
-Run the Minecraft instance to make sure everything is working as expected. +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== STEP 4: Install Fabric Mods ==== +
- +
-To be able to see the list of mods installed and change mod settings, you may want to install the mod **Mod Menu (Fabric)**. Mod Menu adds a button to the Minecraft main screen: +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_07.jpg?direct&600|}} +
- +
-Clicking the button opens a list of installed fabric mods. Mod settings can be changed by clicking the gear button located on the top right: +
- +
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_multimc_launcher_08.jpg?direct&600|}} +
- +
-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.  +
- +
-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. +
- +

- +
-==== STEP 5: HAVE FUN! ==== +
