Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

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.

IMPORTANT: THIS MOD WILL CRASH ON STARTUP DUE TO THE ESSENTIAL MOD. THIS IS NORMAL, SIMPLY EXIT THE MINECRAFT LAUNCHER AND RE-LAUNCH THE GAME. THIS SHOULD ALLOW ESSENTIAL TO LOAD CORRECTLY.
