Minecraft | How to install custom Fabric Version and Fabric API
Installing Fabric on your server
Fabric is a lightweight, experimental modding toolchain for Minecraft.
It is always good practice to back up your files before making changes, so we recommend backing up files
Installing Fabric Version
- Open FabricMC website: https://fabricmc.net/use/server/
- Select the Minecraft Java version you prefer. Do not touch the Installer Version & Fabric Loader Version, keep it default unless you know what it is.
- Click on
Executable Server (.jar)
button to download the Fabric Jar
- After downloading rename the file you downloaded to
server.jar
- Upload the
server.jar
to your server in the main directory
Depending on your specific goals, you may need to either delete all the files on your server for a fresh Fabric installation or simply replace the jar files in the main directory of your server to update your Fabric version. In general, a complete deletion of all server files is necessary when downgrading the version, while a version update only requires replacing the jar file. As mentioned previously, it is advisable to create a backup before making any changes. This way, you can easily undo them and keep your files safe to prevent data loss.
- Start your server.
Installing Fabric API
Fabric API is the core library for the most common hooks and intercompatibility measures utilized by mods using the Fabric toolchain
