Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

Minecraft 1.21.6–1.21.8
Minecraft 1.21.5
Minecraft 1.21.4
Minecraft 1.21.2–1.21.3
Minecraft 1.21–1.21.1

⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 ⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 ⬇ Download for 1.21.5 ⬇ Download for 1.21.4 ⬇ Download for 1.21.2–1.21.3 ⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
