before installing fabric open up your
minecraft launcher
and launch the game with the version
you're going to be installing fabric for
let's say you want to install fabric for
minecraft 1.16.5
you'll need to select that version on
the bottom left menu
if an option for the version you want
isn't displayed you can go to the top
here
and select installations
after that select new
and then go to version and select the
version you're looking for
then click create and that should create
a new installation
click on play to go back to the main
menu and make sure you've selected the
correct version
then launch the game once that's done
you can then quit the game
you'll also need to make sure that you
have java installed onto your computer
to install java head over to java.com
here's what you need to download in
order to use fabric mods
first you will need to head on over to
fabricmc.net
then you'll need to click on use at the
top right of the site
doing so will lead you to this page here
if you're on windows
download fabric by selecting this option
on the right where it says windows
slash dot exe if not then go ahead and
select the universal slash jar
option instead
after installing fabric open up the file
and make sure you have the correct
version selected at the top here
make sure that create profile is enabled
then
click on install after a few seconds
another window should pop up saying that
fabric mod loader has been successfully
installed
now you'll need to install a mod called
fabric api
this api is required by most fabric mods
for them to work
to download fabric api head over to
curseforge.com
and search for fabric api
or use the link in the description
instead
then scroll down a bit until you see
recent files at the right of the page
look for the correct version and make
sure you install the file that has the
letter r
next to it as r means that this is the
recommended file for you to download
click the download icon next to the file
to install it
after that you can go ahead and download
whichever fabric mods you want
for this video i'll be installing this
fabric mod called immersive portals as
an example
now you'll need to head over to your
desktop and go over to the search bar at
the bottom left of the screen
then type percent app data percent and
hit enter
click dot minecraft and look for the
mods folder
if you can't find a mods folder you can
simply just create a new folder
and name it mods in all lowercase
letters
open up the mods folder and then add
fabric api
along with the fabric mods you wish to
use
and now you can go ahead and open up the
minecraft launcher
make sure you have fabric loader
selected on the bottom left
menu then launch the game
a message may pop up saying that this
installation has been modified
and might not support the latest
player's safety features
don't worry this is completely normal if
you're modifying the launcher
pressing play and launching the game
anyways will not cause any harm
once the game is launched it should say
minecraft fabric at the bottom left of
your screen
and once you begin a new world you
should be able to use fabric mods in
game
