Every information needed to install fabric mods can be found here. There are also plenty of YouTube videos available, however the following is a simple step by step guide on how to install a Fabric Mod.

Fabric Loader¶

Now to install Fabric mods you need to install the Fabric Loader aswell as the Fabric API for your desired Minecraft version. if you have already done this you can skip to the next step. You can find a more in depth guide at the Fabric wiki.

Mojang's Minecraft Launcher¶

1. Download the Fabric installer from the download page.

2. Open the installer. In the window you need to configure the mapping and loader version (latest loader version is recommended) and the install location (the default should be fine on most platforms).

   NOTE

   You need to enable snapshots in order to make the installer show mapping options for Minecraft snapshots.

3. Press Install. A new game version and profile will be created in the launcher's menu, which you can now use to launch Fabric.

4. You may then want to launch your newly created instance once, and then add Fabric API to your instance's mods folder as some Fabric Mods do not work without it.
