Official Launcher

Note

Managing mods with the official launcher requires manually editing the files which makes it incredibly easy to make mistakes. It is recommended to use a launcher with mod management features instead. If you aren't sure what to choose, we recommend Prism which makes it very easy easy to install modpacks and mods.

Installing mods​

The first thing to do in the official launcher is to install the Fabric mod loader.

  1. Visit the Fabric download page and download the Universal installer. This will work regardless of your OS if you have Java installed.
  2. Run the file you downloaded and select Minecraft Version: 1.20.1 and Loader Version: 0.14.24. The Install Location should be left as the default. Make sure that the Create profile box is checked and then press Install. Fabric settings
  3. Once you've received this success message, open the Minecraft Launcher. Install Confirmation
  4. In the profile list you should see Fabric. Make sure that it is selected. Then, press PlayFabric profile
  5. Select the checkbox to not get this warning every time you open the profile. This is shown because the game is modified and the launcher doesn't know what has been changed. Press Play. Once Minecraft has launched into the main menu, close the game. Modded profile warning
  6. Next, download each of the mods listed here.
  7. Then, move all of the files into your .minecraft/mods folder. You may need to create the mods folder if it doesn't exist.

Locations of the minecraft folder:

Operating SystemLocation
Linux~/.minecraft
macOS~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
Windows%APPDATA%\.minecraft
  1. That's it! Launching the game should now have all of the mods working.
  2. Connect to the server at mc.repl.game
