 ====== Installing a Minecraft/Fabric Server ======
-==== STEP 0: Create a MultiMC Minecraft/Fabric single player instance ====
+==== STEP 1: Create a MultiMC Minecraft/Fabric single player instance ====
 Before setting up a Minecraft server with Fabric Mod loader, it may be a good idea to install Fabric in a MultiMc instance, download and test all the mods you want in the server in that instance, and once you have everything set up and working, only then set up the server. You can do that here: [[tutorial:install_with_multimc|Installing Fabric using the MultiMC launcher]]
-==== STEP 1: Downloading the files you will need ====
-Create a folder in any location in your computer that will be used by the server, for example:
-''c:\mc-server''
-The name and location of the server folder used in this tutorial is ''c:\mc-server''. You can use any other location and name, and when you see ''c:\mc-server'' used in this tutorial, replace it with folder name you created.
-Go to https://fabricmc.net/use/ and select the “Server” option, then download the Windows exe installer or the Universal JAR installer and save it in the folder you created, for example:
-''c:\mc-server\fabric-installer-0.4.2.27.jar''
-If you are installing a server with the latest Minecraft version, go to https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/ and download the Minecraft server jar file. You must save it as ''server.jar'' in the folder you created, for example:
-''c:\mc-server\server.jar''
-If you downloaded the server.jar file from **minecraft.net** proceed to **STEP 2**
-Alternatively, or if you want to download the Minecraft server jar for an older version of Minecraft, open the Minecraft launcher and follow the steps outlined in the following images. Remember to save the file in the folder you created, for example:
-''c:\mc-server\server.jar''
-.Click on the hamburger button to the right.

-.Click on "Launch options"
-{{:wiki:install_server_02.jpg?direct|}}
-.Click on "Add new"
-{{:wiki:install_server_03.jpg?direct|}}
-.Select the desired version, click on "Download server", download the server.jar file in the server folder you created.

 ==== STEP 2: Checking if Java is installed ====
-A Minecraft server requires the Java Runtime Environment. To check it java is installed in your computer, open the ''Run'' dialog by using the ''Windows+R'' hotkey. Enter ''cmd'' in the textbox and click ''OK'' This will open a command window.

-NOTE: If you have other instances of Minecraft using another Mod Loader that only works with Java 8, you will need to pick Java version 8 for the other Mod Loader to work in those other instances.
 ==== STEP 4: Install Fabric in the Server Folder ====
-Click on the Fabric Installer jar/exe you downloaded in STEP 1 to run the installer. Select the ''Mappings Version'' and ''Loader Version'' that matches what you installed in **STEP 0**. If you skipped **STEP 0**, select the desired versions.
+Go to https://fabricmc.net/use/ and select the “Server” option, then download the Windows exe installer or the Universal JAR installer.
-Verify that ''Select Install Location'' points to the server folder you created in **STEP 1**. Click ''Install''
+Run the Fabric Installer jar/exe you downloaded. Select the ''Server'' tab. Select the ''Minecraft Version'' and  the ''Loader Version''

+**NOTE:** The installer now has a button to generate the batch files for you, so the following instructions may be outdated.
 **NOTE:** If you are upgrading Fabric in this server, delete the ''.fabric'' folder inside the server folder if it exists. If you are also upgrading the Minecraft version, remember to download the correct ''server.jar'' as explained before.
