How to Download Minecraft Fabric [The Complete Beginner's Guide to Modding]

Here's how to download Fabric:

1. Visit the Official Fabric Website: Start by visiting the official Fabric website. You can easily find it by searching for "Fabric Minecraft" in your preferred search engine. Once on the website, navigate to the "Downloads" section.
2. Select Minecraft Version: In the "Downloads" section, you'll find a list of available Minecraft versions. Look for the version labeled "1.21.4 or 1.21.5" and click on it to proceed. This will take you to the download page specifically for Fabric 1.21.4 and 1.21.5.
3. Choose Installer Type: On the download page, you'll typically find two options: "Installer" and "Installer-Win." The "Installer" option is for users running macOS or Linux, while "Installer-Win" is specifically for Windows users. Select the appropriate installer type based on your operating system by clicking on the corresponding download button.
4. Download Fabric Installer: Clicking the download button will initiate the download of the Fabric installer file to your computer. Depending on your internet connection speed, the download process may take a few moments to complete. Once the download is finished, locate the installer file in your computer's downloads folder or the location specified by your browser.
5. Run the Installer: Double-click on the Fabric installer file to run it. This will launch the Fabric installer wizard, which will guide you through the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions, making sure to select the correct installation directory for Minecraft.
6. Install Fabric: After specifying the installation directory, click on the "Install" button to begin the installation process. Fabric will automatically download and set up the necessary files to integrate with Minecraft 1.21.4/1.21.5.
7. Launch Minecraft: Once the installation is complete, launch the Minecraft Launcher on your computer. In the bottom left corner of the launcher window, click on the dropdown menu next to the "Play" button. You should see a new profile labeled "Fabric" or similar. Select this profile to launch Minecraft with Fabric installed.
8. Verify Installation: To verify that Fabric 1.21.4/1.21.5 is installed correctly, launch the game and check the lower left corner of the main menu screen. You should see the Fabric version listed alongside the Minecraft version.

After completing the installation process, simply open the Minecraft Launcher and navigate to the left side of the launch options. From there, select the modded version of Minecraft that corresponds to the Fabric installation. This straightforward step is all it takes to start using the latest version of Fabric on your computer. The process remains consistent across different operating systems, including Mac.

It's worth noting that Fabric 1.20.6/1.20.5 has received updates and now necessitates Java 21 for operation. Mojang Studios has officially declared that the Java Edition of Minecraft won't receive support on 32-bit systems. Consequently, Fabric 1.20.6/1.20.5 won't function on computers running on 32-bit architecture.

To determine if your PC operates on a 32-bit architecture, navigate to the Control Panel and access the Settings. Look for details about your computer and operating system. If it indicates that your system is 32-bit, downloading Fabric would serve little purpose, as it requires a 64-bit architecture to function properly.
