Server Versions installs Fabric for you in one click. Install it yourself when you need a specific Fabric Loader version, for example to match a modpack.
Before you start
Switching from Paper? Back up your world first, because a Paper world may not load on Fabric. See Back up and restore your server. Then stop your server.
Download Fabric
- Go to https://fabricmc.net/use/server
- Choose your Minecraft version, and the Fabric Loader version you need.
- Click Executable Server to download it.
Install it on your server
- In your panel, open Server Files.
- Move the old server jar out of the way: right-click
server.jar, and rename it to something likeserver-old.jar. - Click Upload, and choose the Fabric file you downloaded.
- Rename it to
server.jar, exactly like that, so your server knows to start it. - Start your server. The first start downloads Fabric, so it takes a little longer. In the console, you'll see it loading with Fabric Loader.
Once it works, you can delete server-old.jar. Now add your mods to the mods folder, and you're ready to go.
